Who we are

AIESEC’s Vision

Peace and fulfilment of humankind's potential.

AIESEC’s Scope

AIESEC is a global, non-political, independent, not-for-profit organization run by students and recent graduates of institutions of higher education. Our members are interested in world issues, leadership and management.

AIESEC does not discriminate on the basis of race, colour, gender, sexual orientation, creed, religion, national, ethnic or social origin.

AIESEC’s Approach

AIESEC members live an integrated development experience. This involves leadership opportunities, international internships and interacting with a global network to support their development.

 

 

Five key principles guide the behaviour of our members as they go through the AIESEC experience:

Taking an Active Role

Individuals need to take a proactive role in acting on the opportunities available in AIESEC to further their development. Our members take responsibility over their own learning and the learning of others to ensure that they and others in the organization get the most out of their experience.

Developing Self-Awareness and Personal Vision

AIESEC creates an environment in which our members can clarify and expand their ambitions. Throughout their experience, our members engage in mentorship, personal visioning and goal-setting exercises allowing them to gain an understanding of where they can make a contribution in the world.

Increasing Theoretical Knowledge and Practical Experience

At all stages of the experience our members increase their theoretical knowledge in a wide-range of functional and interpersonal skills and then have the opportunity to put their knowledge into practice.

Building Personal and Professional Networks

AIESEC Kenya's 40-year history and vast global network of students, partners and alumni allows individuals to acquire lifelong personal and professional networks of friends and business contacts around the world. Through conferences, on-line forums and in their day-to-day activities our members are gaining valuable networks that will support them in the personal and professional pursuits.

Challenging Worldview

AIESEC provides young people with an intense learning experience allowing our members to challenge their perspectives about themselves and the world around them. A stronger and more holistic view of the world enables our members to more easily incorporate new perspectives into their thinking, see interdependencies among the forces shaping our world and identify ways to positively impact any given situation.
