1. Experiential Leadership Development
The Experiential Leadership Development phase allows young people to explore and develop
their leadership potential through different programmes.
The purpose of this phase is for a person to develop their competencies of Global Mind-set,
Entrepreneurial Outlook, Social Responsibility, Emotional Intelligence and Proactive Learning,
taking advantage of the intense experiences which AIESEC offers.
In this phase, a young person accesses AIESEC’s value-based platform through one of its
Experiential Leadership Development programmes. These programmes offer:
International cross-cultural opportunities
Access to a global network
Opportunity to make positive societal impact
Personal and Professional development
These different value propositions are lived and experienced differently through the
programmes, each of which offers a different kind of practical experiences. As of 2011, AIESEC
offers 4 programmes: the Team Member Programme, Team Leader Programme, Global
Internship Programme and Global Community Development Programme.
It is not important in which order these programmes are taken. A person can take as many as
they feel is important for their leadership development.

2. Team Member Programme
