The document discusses AIESEC's Experiential Leadership Development phase, which allows young people to explore and develop their leadership potential through various programs. It describes four programs offered: the Team Member Programme, Team Leader Programme, Global Internship Programme, and Global Community Development Programme. The programs provide international and cross-cultural opportunities, access to a global network, and the chance to gain professional skills and experience while making a positive social impact. Participants can take as many programs as they feel will help develop their leadership abilities.

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
