History

What began in 1948 as an organization to help develop "friendly relations" between member countries is now a global association with activities in 107 different countries and territories.

The founding members of AIESEC started to build the organization between 1946 - 1948 but a clear identity was defined in 1948 and later in 1949 at the Stockholm Congress. 89 students participated in the Exchange Program in 1949 and exchange was defined as the core activity of the organization. In the coming years more and more countries joined the network and AIESEC became global in a very short period by being present on all the continents. Seminars were first introduced as part of trainees' reception experiences in a proposal from AIESEC in Germany in 1961. They were mainly economic in nature and for the first time, AIESEC was addressing specific issues in its activities-stated clearly in a non-political way. At the 1974 International Congress in Bordeaux, an important motion was passed: the minimum length of an Exchange traineeship had to be 6 weeks. This measure improved the quality of our Exchanges. In 1976 an International Theme Programme was established that focused all international, regional, and local seminars on specific topics. This idea continued and grew through various stages. After this the focus of the organization was on addressing global themes besides the traditional Exchange Program. Themes like International Trade, Management Education, Sustainable development, Entrepreneurship and Corporate Responsibility were discussed at local, national and global seminars. In the attempt to meet the challenges of tomorrow head on and become a change agent, AIESEC Global Seminar Series (AGSS) was initiated in 1988. This series of seminars was conducted with the objective of educating youth and gathering their opinions on issues related to sustainable development, such that they would be able to have an impact on society through their combined voice, and later in life as leaders. TODAY AIESEC has 60 years of experience in developing high-potential youth into globally minded responsible leaders. Present in over 107 countries and territories and with over 50,000 members, AIESEC is the world's largest youth-run organization. Focused on providing a platform for youth leadership development, AIESEC offers young people the opportunity to participate in international internships, experience leadership and participate in a global learning environment. What makes AIESEC unique is the youth driven impactful experience that it offers to its members. AIESEC is run by young people for young people, enabling a strong experience to all its stakeholders. Our members are part of an exciting, driven global network. They are able to contribute to societal change while exploring their own vision for a positive impact on society. We are supported by thousands of partner organisations around the globe who look to AIESEC to support the development of youth and to access top talent through our global internship program.

eXchange History

In the early years of the Association Internationale des Etudiants en Sciences Economiques et Commerciales1

(AIESEC), activities regarding exchange

consisted of traineeships, study tours and the exchange of information on studies. Traineeships were organized during the months of November or December through careful selections by the 'local committees' (groups of AIESEC members) and training occurred during the following summer. „Receiving Committee' members of the host country played a role, completing the whole experience by serving as a point of contact for trainees with the economic and cultural life of the locality.

Efforts by the association for better organization could also be witnessed after the congress in Copenhagen (1952) addressing uniform procedures and employment contracts for exchange.

Development of exchange was progressing well with an annual growth of 22% but there was a mounting concern for the quality of exchanges and thus the AIESEC Summer School Training Programmes (SSTP) were introduced in 1966.

It was a movement of expansion from the „traditional' traineeship exchange programmes and gave more meaningful experiences to the exchange participant. SSTPs engaged a limited amount of selected trainees, each undergoing unique training and education but in a common field or topic on a project. Every week they took time off from their firms to meet for lectures and group discussions and at the end of their traineeship period, joint and individual reports were produced. By the end of 1969, 22 SSTPs were successfully carried out in eleven different countries.

A shift of focus to member education and talent development to prepare AIESEC members for a future in the business environment occurred in the 1970's. Alignment of the global association as a whole led to the emergence of International Theme Programmes (ITP). Henceforth, these became a formal part of AIESEC.

1 Nowadays, the french acronym AIESEC is no longer used by the organization, since in the history AIESEC expanded to other

backgrounds different to Economic and Commercial Sciences. Please use AIESEC simply as is.

Advancements in Information technology in the 1990's saw the ongoing development of communication and exchange tools. The emergence of the AIESEC Global Information Systems (AGIS) embraced new internet technology to connect operations across the globe. Such changes meant that not only was the International Traineeship Exchange Program, (ITEP) managed online, but also a large portion of local committee budgets were now freed up from the costs of physical communications. AGIS would later become known as "Insight". Insight had the advantage of using the internet to send data, and continuous matching was able to take place, (previously matching was done at specified times.) The introduction of Issue-Based Experiences (IBXPs) began as a way to ensure that young people who have identified a passion for a particular issue have the chance to live an experience that not only enables them to gain general leadership skills, but also expertise on a particular issue. This process supplements what AIESEC offers to its members; experiences to support them in developing needed competencies to lead positive change and a strong interest and knowledge in one of the key topics of the world that needs positive leadership.

In 2011 the eXchange program was renamed to Global Internships Program in Romania not to be confused with other types of exchange.

Global Learning Environment

Individual discovery – Are you aware of who you are? What do you want in life? What makes you happy? What makes you vibe? Our actions help you to discover the sense of your life and guide you towards the best decisions in your personal and professional opportunities. Team Experiences - Teams are the basis of our current organizational structure. You can be part of teams from 4 members to lead the organization to over 35,000 members. Our teams‟ experiences are comprised of a common goal, plan, specific period of time and constant evaluation and recognition of success. You can manage projects, manage organizational processes and operations, organize events and much more. Teams also bring forward the aspect of ‘learning by doing’ Mentoring – Mentoring relationships provide an important source of external feedback –with other AIESEC members or AIESEC partners/supporters- about your decisions in AIESEC and outside of AIESEC. Through mentoring we create friendly relationships among all of our stakeholders and powerful networks. Virtual Spaces - Our virtual spaces play the role of tying together the entire learning environment and AIESEC network. MyAIESEC.net is our unique online platform of resources, contact information, forums, news, classifieds and constant promotion of exchange and leadership opportunities at a local, national and international level. At the same time, AIESEC is present in the main online channels such as Youtube, Flickr, Facebook to keep you connected to your AIESEC friends in all parts of the world.

The AIESEC Difference

Our innovative approach to developing young people focuses on taking a proactive role, developing self-awareness and a personal vision, building networks, and developing capacity to drive change. The AIESEC platform allows individuals to craft their own experience through the available opportunities. The result is typically a 1-5 year experience that produces individuals with the following skills and experiences: 1) Leadership Experience Through the management of over 700 offices at the local, national, and international level, AIESEC members have the opportunity to lead teams in different areas, do planning, take decisions, speak in public, and turn their ideas into action. AIESEC members are oriented to enter situations with the intention to make things happen. 2) Multi-Functional Skills AIESEC members get practical experience in all facets of running an organization, including sales and marketing, customer servicing, recruitment, evaluation, budgeting, planning, project management, presentation skills, and more. Practical experience in such a broad range of areas is unique while still in university. 3) Effectiveness The way we run a global organization with such an impressive scale of programs and almost 100% turnover is through an incredible commitment from our membership. AIESEC members invest between 15-30 hours a week in the organization while also managing university, part-time jobs, family, and friends. They learn how to manage their time, set priorities, and multi-task. 4) Global and Diversity Through the management of our exchange program and interaction on our global on-line platforms, the average AIESEC member is working and communicating every day with people from all over the world. Nearly all AIESEC members speak more than 1 language and have an international experience. AIESEC members learn how to work effectively in diverse environments and see things from a global perspective. 5) Self-Awareness With a focus on reflection, AIESEC provides space and support for individuals to do goal-setting, personal awareness exercises, and personal vision development. Pushed by an inspiring environment, AIESEC members develop a strong sense of who they are and the role they would like to play in the future.

_______________________________________ This is the AIESEC Difference – what gives people with AIESEC experience an edge over other young people and what drives them to play valuable roles within their workplaces and communities.
