At the heart of where the European Union now stands, AIESEC has
celebrated 60 years of fostering cultural understanding amongst nations, modeling the vision of the
would-be European Union. Over 300 leaders from business and civil society along with past and
present AIESEC members gathered for this event in Brussels, which was the home of AIESEC’s
international secretariat for many decades.
The event was an extraordinary networking and creative gathering, balanced with nostalgia, friendship, tangible conversations and fun. A graphic facilitator captured the key themes of the discussions throughout the day, and a high quality agenda was developed in cooperation with two leading leadership development organizations.
Alumni Engagement-
one of the highlight of the event!
Why they value AIESEC
“You have been a front runner of globalization and the values that your organization embodies are more relevant than ever. Cross-cultural understanding and entrepreneurship education contribute to a peaceful development of the world.” Günter Verheugen, Vice-President of the European Commission recognized AIESEC’s relevance in his opening speech “Skills of leadership, communication, cultural understanding,
problem solving, team building, ladies and gentleman those are the skills that employers are
demanding in the 21
st Century to be relevant. Those are the skills that AIESEC has always taught and trust
me, those skills are just as needed and just in demand today as they were right in the very
beginning of AIESEC.”
Martin Bean,
General Manager, Education Products Group at Microsoft Corporation; PAI 1986/87, was a chair of
the conference
