2. AIESEC
In 1948, seven economic and business students of Western Europe came together in Stockholm. They founded what has
grown out to be the largest international student organization, AIESEC.
AIESEC is an acronym for Association Internationale des Etudiants en Sciences Economiques et Commerciales: an
organization set up for students in economics and business related studies. Nowadays, AIESEC is no longer strictly an
economics and business related organization, because it is open for students of every academic major.
With the idea of recovering the relations between European countries, the founders of AIESEC set up the following goal:
no more war! They believed they would achieve this goal by giving individuals the experience of living and working
abroad themselves. By giving people cultural experiences, they would create mutual understanding. Students don’t only
get aware of different cultures, but learn a lot during their internship as well. Your experience becomes much more
intensive if you really work and live abroad! Therefore, the main purpose of all AIESEC activities is personal
development.
The vision of AIESEC is: “Peace and fulfillment of humankind’s potential”
The means to this vision are formulated as follows:
“Our international platform enables young people to explore and develop their potential to provide leadership for a
positive impact on society.”
Currently, AIESEC has grown from 7 to over 125 countries and territories. We have become the largest student
organization in the world and we are the largest NGO in the world, after the United Nations. Within these countries, an
AIESEC board is present in 1,500 cities in the world and more than 50,000 students are active members at this moment.
They make it possible for students around the world to go on an international internship or go for an international
project .

3. Dear applicant,
AIESEC is an organization that has given me the chance to have grow a lot, not only as a leader, but
also as an individual. Within a year I went from someone who nearly not applied at all to the
organization due to anxiety and fear of failure, to becoming someone who could step out of his comfort
zone and take the challenge of being responsible for the whole committee in Stockholm. My example is
only one of many which prove that AIESEC is an organization that truly facilitates for the leaders of the
future and makes an impact. But I have only just embarked on the opportunity of a lifetime and now I
am asking you to join me in that opportunity to continue the legacy of AIESEC for years to come.
