1. Learning Networks Day…
AIESEC
AIESEC is the international platform for young people to discover and develop their potential for a
positive impact in society. It involves creating an integrated leadership development experience
composed of leadership opportunities, internship opportunities and a global learning environment.
In Uganda we are in Makerere University, Makerere University Business School and Uganda
Christian University.
We tackle issues and initiatives that affect the society as a whole and provide impactful
experience both to our members and the society as well.
Concept of Learning Networks day
AIESEC Makerere University Business School is organizing a Learning Networks day. A learning
network is a discussion forum that gives people the opportunity of expressing their thoughts and
ideas on an issue that is affecting their society as a whole, and the ways needed to address it. It is
normally carried out before projects and during international conferences
There are four issues that AIESEC Uganda would like to engage the whole students
community in addressing. These issues are based on the following projects that we will implement
as an organization.
2. Entrepreneurship
( African Young Entrepreneurship Project )
HIV and AIDS

Objectives of the learning Networks day
• To engage the student’s community in the discussion of initiatives that affects our society.
• An opportunity for companies to interact with students.
• A platform for AIESEC, to interact with the school.
• An opportunity for members to understand the projects that AIESEC carries out in order to
address these initiatives.
• An opportunity for the students to engage themselves in AIESEC projects.
The flow of the day
Companies will be invited on that day and they will bring best case examples of the various issues
that they tackle and address in their organizations. They will give various presentations according
to the various initiatives that they will be assigned to talk about.
Thereafter there will be questions and answers, as regards to the different presentations.
Four groups will then be created and the students will engage the companies in small discussions
and together they will get to share a deeper insight of the issues under each initiative.
There will then be presentations on the various issues from the different groups.
With thanks
