History Organisation Approach Platform
© AIESEC International 2009
The AIESEC approach to enabling young people to explore and develop their leadership potential is a full experience with several stages that is based on a few key principles.

This approach, which comes through the AIESEC Platform, helps to build young people that have the desire and capacity to have a positive impact in society – that is the AIESEC Difference .

The following diagram shows the different steps in the AIESEC experience.




All members go through a formal introduction to the organization and then begin to take on responsibility in some area.

They then have the option to take on leadership , work abroad , or both.

The final step is to head to the future – to take the skills, inspiration, and networks from AIESEC to have a positive impact in society.





 


Key principles:

Taking an active role
AIESEC will provide the opportunities and some support, but it is ultimately up to the individual to make the most of those opportunities.

Developing Self-Awareness and Personal Vision
AIESEC supports young people in clarifying and expanding their ambitions and provides intense experiences that challenge their view of the world.

Building a Network

Through conferences, on-line platforms, and a growing alumni network, AIESEC provides young people with the opportunity to create a strong and global network.

Increasing Capacity
Through conferences, international internships, and the management of our offices, we provide young people with the opportunity to improve their skills and the opportunity to put their knowledge into practice .
