Learning Environment
What makes a learning organization different from other organizations is how
unique and different its learning environment is.
The AIESEC
Learning Environment is the
synergy effect that allows all the different components to impact on a person
through a framework of activities that ensure the delivery of the member experience in AIESEC. It
is a unique environment that helps people to discover and develop their potential and also creates
opportunity for development of defined competencies while in AIESEC members.
The learning environment in the context of Issue-based AIESEC Experience from the general
point of view of having a focus around an ISSUE/TOPIC; however the opportunities are there for all
individuals and should is not restricted to anyone.
The AIESEC Learning Environment contributes to Competencies development in two ways:

competencies by working in Learning Environment

assessment of our competencies using the individual assessment tool present in our virtual platform
and developed by Career Innovation.
