For the first time in its 60 year history, AIESEC connected over 800 AIESEC stakeholders from over 106 countries and from across generations- members, alumni and partner organizations.  Purpose of the connection was not only to celebrate 60 years of activating youth leadership but also to look into the future how we as an organization can have collective impact and role model sustainable leadership.
The event exceeded the expectations of many participants. Over 800 people were sitting changing circles, connected in thoughts and emotions and the walls were decorated with drawings from previous 60th anniversary events. Smiling faces, expectations, curiosity and many questions filled the room with enormous amounts of energy - one could feel the power of the AIESEC network.

Our space for collective intelligence on sustainability engaged people to share their passion, concerns, and dreams.
