ethical individuals, having the competencies and the values that are needed to have an active role and find solutions for a better society.

And this is how in this environment we decided to take ownership of our actions and our role as young people in Greece. Providing cross cultural leadership experiences to enable this development to youth.

It has been a year of handling an intense change management internally in the organization, in order to ensure that AIESEC in Greece is actually able to deliver more and better , powerful experiences. In this year we proved that progress and achievement is coming when a group of young people has a strong vision and works hard to achieve it, no matter the external and internal challenges an organization might face.

Looking back, where we started and where we are standing right now, we believe that our efforts had a big contribution and impact in the growth and development of AIESEC in Greece over the last 5 years, making it a bigger and more customer centric Youth Organization, able to handle and offer more experiences to youth. Seeing this outcome, makes me feel proud to be part of this and lead AIESEC in Greece at this moment.

But also this year offered to us, as a National Team, strong life lessons, on working always with values of transparency, respect, perseverance, looking for solutions and opportunities and not for problems and fully embracing our responsibility towards the organization for this one year, taking decisions and actions for a sustainable and healthy future. We learned that if we are striving to empower youth, we first of all need to become better and better every day.

It was a unique leadership and learning journey for me as well, to lead AIESEC in Greece along with my team and the Presidents of the Local Committees during this year and I feel honored to have received such an opportunity.

Thank You,

Our Essence

AIESEC was created in 1948, after Second World War from a young group of people who were determined that cross-cultural understanding was essential to prevent similar conflicts.

Currently, AIESEC is a global independent non-political, not-for-profit, youth-run organization, existing in 128 countries and territories and over 2400 universities.

AIESEC does not discriminate on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, disabilities, creed, religion, national, ethnic or social origin.

AIESEC’s Scope

Our Vision

We strive every day to achieve Peace & Fullfilment of Humankind’s potential.

“We place our confidence in youth as the key to unlock a better future.”

We place our confidence in youth because they represent the passion, dynamism and entrepreneurial spirit that are needed to shape the future of the world. They have theresponsibility to impact tomorrow by choosing who they will be today.

“We believe that leadership is the fundamental solution and it can be developed in anyone.”AIESEC is a platform for young people to explore and develop their leadership potential.After going through an experience with AIESEC, young people are better prepared to make a positive impact in any sphere they would choose.

AIESEC’s leadership development model seeks to prepare youth to take a stand on whatthey care about and become capable to make a difference through their everyday actions.

The type of leadership we develop is defined by these 4 characteristics:

Youth Speak is a global movement organized by AIESEC in collaboration with other organizations such as United Nations and aims to unite youth voice all over the world.

The Youth Speak campaign consists of the Global Survey aimed to identify main trends shaping youth’s every day reality, the Youth Speak Forum, that aims to give youth the opportunity to discuss about these issues and the Youth Speak Social Media campaign, which is an open conversation about global youth issues.

Here are few insights we took from Greek Youth. The sample is 700 students, aged 18-25, out of which 71% are women and the rest men.

The survey is still open for Greece so another report will follow during term 15-16.

Global Citizen Story• Σε ποιά χώρα πήγες για εθελοντική εργασία και για πόσο χρονικό διάστημα;

Πήγα στην Γκάνα της Αφρικής και ενώ το πρόγραμμα διαρκούσε ένα μήνα και κάτι, εγώ έκατσα ένα μήνα γιατί αναγκαστήκαμε να φύγουμε λόγω της έξαρσης του ιού Ebola εκείνη την περίοδο. Πιο συγκεκριμένα πήγα στην πρωτεύουσα, την Accra. • Τι ακριβώς περιελάμβανε το πρόγραμμα που πήγες; Τι ακριβώς έκανες;

Το πρόγραμμα ήταν σε ένα σχολείο που ονομαζόταν Youth Hope International School στο οποίο έπρεπε να διδάξω αγγλικά σε παιδάκια ηλικίας 2 έως 6 ετών με εναλλακτικούς, πιο δραστήριους τρόπους διδασκαλίας. Είχα αναλάβει την τάξη με τα παιδάκια που ήταν 4 ετών.Ο ρόλος μου στο project ήταν ουσιαστικά αυτός. Πιο συγκεκριμένα τους δίδασκα τα βασικά, όπως την αλφάβητο, κάποιες λέξεις κλπ. • Τι θεωρείς ότι κέρδισες από αυτήν την εμπειρία;

1. Αρχικά,να μη θεωρώ τίποτα δεδομένο. Όταν βλέπεις τους ανθρώπους εκεί να ζουν με πολύ λιγότερα πράγματα από εσένα και να μην έχουν απλά καθημερινά πράγματα, όπως νερό, φαγητό και ρούχα, γυρνώντας πίσω εκτιμάς πολύ περισσότερο και είσαι ευγνώμων για όσα έχεις. 2. Το δεύτερο και σημαντικότερο είναι ότι γνώρισα διαφορετικές πτυχές του εαυτού μου και έζησα καταστάσεις που μέχρι τότε δεν είχα ζήσει ποτέ και ούτε πρόκειται να ξαναζήσω εδώ στην Ελλάδα ή σε κάποια άλλη Ευρωπαική χώρα. Θεωρούσα ότι μέχρι τότε ήξερα καλά τον εαυτό μου και τελικά τον είδα να αλλάζει.

3. Υπάρχουν πάντα δυό πλευρές σε μία ιστορία. Τις χώρες σαν την Γκάνα όλοι τις παρουσιάζουν σαν τις χώρες της παρακμής,όπου οι άνθρωποι πεινάνε, ζουν μέσα στις παράγκες γεμάτες χώμα, υπάρχει πολύ ασχήμια και όντως ισχύουν αυτά. Υπάρχει ωστόσο και μια άλλη πτυχή της ιστορίας, όπου ενώ τα παιδάκια εκεί δεν ξέρουν να μιλάνε αγγλικά, το μεσημέρι το φαγητό τους είναι μιά κουταλιά ρύζι, ένα κομμάτι ψάρι και ενδιάμεσα junk foods (π.χ. μπισκότα), θα έρθουν παρ’όλα αυτά στα διαλείμματα να σε ρωτήσουν αν θέλεις να το μοιραστείς μαζί τους. Αυτό το πράγμα που μπορεί να μην το έχουν το μοιράζονται και χαίρονται για αυτό. Υπάρχει λοιπόν αυτό που προβάλλουν τα Media, αλλά δεν υπάρχει μόνο αυτό, γνωρίζεις έμπρακτα τι πάει να πει πραγματική ανθρωπιά. • Ποιές ήταν οι κύριες δεξιότητες που ανέπτυξες και σε ποιό βαθμό;

Η κυριότερη δεξιότητα που ανέπτυξα ήταν η προσαρμοστικότητα καθώς πέρα από το έντονο πολιτισμικό σοκ έπρεπε επίσης να προσαρμοστώ και να ακολουθήσω τρόπους διδασκαλίας διαφορετικούς από αυτούς που μέχρι τότε γνώριζα, για να καλύψω τις ανάγκες των παιδιών. • Από όλη την εμπειρία που έζησες ποια είναι τα 2 πράγματα που δεν θα άλλαζες με τίποτα και τα 2 που θα έκανες διαφορετικά;

1. Αρχικά θα έπαιρνα πολύ πιο νωρίς πρωτοβουλίες στο project, γιατί ο δάσκαλος του σχολείου δε λειτουργεί όπως εδώ, δεν έρχεται να σου πει έλα να κάνεις μάθημα, οπότε πρέπει από μόνος σου να ζητήσεις να κάνεις μάθημα.

χάιδεψα το χέρι του και του εξήγησα πως δεν είναι καλό να χτυπάς κάποιον από εκείνη τη μέρα ήταν το παιδάκι που ήθελε τις περισσότερες αγκαλιές.2. Ακόμη,τα μεταφορικά μέσα ήταν ένα τεράστιο σοκ. Τα “λεωφορεία” ήταν ουσιαστικά βανάκια με συρόμενη πόρτα που χωρούσαν γύρω στα 15 άτομα στριμωχτά.Υπήρχε ένας οδηγός που κάθε λίγο σταματούσε για να φτιάξει κάτι στο όχημα και ένας άλλος που ήταν μισοκρεμασμένος από το παράθυρο και φώναζε κάθε φορά τον προορισμό. Ακόμη,υπήρχαν κωδικοί όταν ήθελες να σταματήσεις το βανάκι για να πας κάπου. Αυτός ο τρόπος επικοινωνίας ήταν φοβερός. Εγώ να φανταστείς για να καταφέρω να φτάσω στον προορισμό μου στις 9 το πρωί έπρεπε να ξυπνήσω από τις 5 και να περιμένω μια ουρά 20 ατόμων στο μπάνιο ,έφευγα στις 7 και έφτανα στο σχολείο στις 9. Η κίνηση είναι υπερβολική και δεν υπάρχουν ούτε κανόνες οδήγησης, ούτε λωρίδες.3. Ακόμα ένα σοκ, ήταν το φαγητό, το οποίο ήταν αρκετά διαφορετικό και πολύ πικάντικο. • Πώς αξιοποίησες την εμπειρία που αποκόμισες;Έχεις κάποιες συγκεκριμένες σκέψεις για το μέλλον;

Αυτή η εμπειρία με δίδαξε ότι πρέπει να βλέπω τον κόσμο με διαφορετική ματιά και ακόμη με έκανε να καταλάβω πως η δουλειά που θα κάνω θέλω να έχει οπωσδήποτε ένα κοινωνικόαντίκτυπο γιατί χρειάζεται. Άρχισα λοιπόν,να αναζητώ εταιρείες και οργανισμούς σχετικά με το αντικείμενό μου που να έχουν ένα αντίκτυπο στην κοινωνία.Την εμπειρία θέλω να την αξιοποιήσω με το να μπω σε μια τέτοια εταιρία,καθώς είναι ο στόχος μου. Ακόμη,ο δεύτερος στόχος μου είναι να μοιράζομαι την εμπειρία μου και να τους πείθω,να τους ωθώ να κάνουν το ίδιο. Πιστεύω στην δύναμη του ενός.

Η συνέντευξη δημοσιεύτηκε αρχικά στο ετήσιο περιοδικό της AIESEC στην Ελλάδα, MyWorld2015, από την Φιλίππα Φωκά.Επιμέλεια για το παρόν έντυπο: Πινζάρη Χριστίνα

2. Ακόμη,αυτό που δε θα άλλαζα είναι οι τάξεις μου,ήμουν στην τάξη με τα παιδιά 4 ετών και πραγματικά όμως δεν θα την άλλαζα με τίποτα. Τα παιδιά τα αγάπησα έχοντας μια μεγαλύτερη αδυναμία στην Georgina και την Franchesca οι οποίες ήταν υπέροχες. Μολονότι είχα την επιλογή να αλλάξω τάξη, είχα δεθεί τόσο πολύ με τα παιδιά και μου άρεσε που έβλεπα πρόοδο σε αρκετά από αυτά.

• Υπήρχε κάποια στιγμή που θα σου μείνει αξέχαστή; Αν ναι ποιά είναι αυτή;

Η στιγμή που θα μου μείνει αξέχαστη ήταν όταν δίδαξα στα παιδιά για πρώτη φορά. Ήταν η αρχή της δεύτερης βδομάδας και το πρώτο μου επίτευγμα ήταν όταν κατάφερα να κάνω τα παιδάκια να καθίσουν να με ακούσουν ήσυχα για 10 λεπτά. Τα παιδιά για τα δεδομένα μιας σημερινής τάξης ήταν πολύ υπερκινητικά και αποσπώνταν συχνά η προσοχή τους. Για παράδειγμα, εγώ ζωγράφιζα αντικείμενα στον πίνακα και ζητούσα από τα παιδάκια να μου πουν πώς λένε το αντικείμενο στα αγγλικά. Οι αντιδράσεις τους ήταν απίστευτες,φώναζαν όλα μαζί και έδειχναν τόσο μεγάλο ενθουσιασμό. Δεν θα το ξεχάσω ποτέ. • Από όλη αυτήν την εμπειρία υπήρχε κάποιο συγκεκριμένο σοκ; Αν ναι ποιό είναι αυτό;

1. Ξέρεις αυτό που με σόκαρε περισσότερο ήταν το ίδιο το σχολείο και βία που υπάρχει εκεί. Τα παιδιά χτυπάνε συνέχεια το ένα το άλλο και το χειρότερο είναι ότι και οι δάσκαλοι και οι γονείς τα χτυπάνε γιατί θεωρούν πως έτσι τα παιδαγωγούν. Ωστόσο, εμένα και κάθε άτομο εκεί με σέβονταν,επειδή με φοβούνταν. Δεν κατάφερα να τους διδάξω την πρώτη βδομάδα γιατί μετά συνειδητοποίησα πως έτσι τα παιδαγωγούν,είναι σκληραγωγημένα και έτσι επιβιώνουν. Οπότε επειδή τους λείπει η στοργή και δεν την ξέρουν,ήταν το κλειδί για να καταφέρω να επικοινωνήσω μαζί τους. Τα παιδιά δεν γνωρίζουν άλλο τρόπο από το ξύλο για να τραβήξουν την προσοχή,αλλά όχι επειδή το επιλέγουν,αλλά επειδή δεν γνωρίζουν άλλο τρόπο να το εκδηλώσουν.Μπορούν επομένως να ανταποκριθούν σε κάποια άλλη συμπεριφορά και τους αρέσει απλώς δεν έχουν συνηθίσει και δεν τη γνωρίζουν. Για παράδειγμα, υπήρχε ένα πολύ ζωηρό παιδάκι στην τάξη το οποίο για να μου τραβήξει την προσοχή, κάθε φορά που έγραφα στον πίνακα με χτυπούσε στην πλάτη με δύναμη. Στην αρχή δεν ήξερα να το διαχειριστώ, αλλά μετά συνειδητοποίησα πως από τότε που πήγα μια φορά και του

Global CitizenGlobal Citizen Program is an opportunity for young people to develop responsible and entrepreneurial leadership by creating direct positive impact though an international volunteer experience of 6 weeks.

As AIESEC in Greece, we managed in one year to offer this experience to 260 students , having 16% growth since last year.

Our main Entity Partners that the students go for Global Citizen are:

Product evolution

Additional services & attributes were introduced to Global Citizen product, such as:

− International SOS Service (Pre-Travel Information and Assistance for the participants while abroad in case of emergency).− Three main issues of involvement for the participants of the program (Cultural Understanding, Career Development and Social Entrepreneurship).− Communication Strategy of the program based on the value of the experience for the student & society.

The way we work:

During the last year, we upscaled the operations of Global Citizen Program by focusing on:− Product Packaging, Communication and Showcasing.− Activities to facilitate the learning journey of the participants.− Partnerships with other AIESEC entities abroad.

So based on the above, the way that Global Citizen program currently operates is:

− External & Internal Research for product strategy creation based on student needs.

− Promotion of the program targeted to specific student segments & Recruitment that involves induction and selection processes.− Allocation to international projects based on the issue of preference.− Preparation of the participants before departure for the experience & assistance while abroad.− Re-Integration Seminar to learn how they can caplitalize on their experience for their future.

HelMSIC - Hellenic Medical Students' International Committee and AIESEC in Greece are cooperating for 3 years now, on providing Global Citizen experiences to students of all 7 Medical Schools of Greece on HIV/AIDS issues.Our aim is that medical students, that are holistic educated on HIV/AIDS can raise awareness on countries that suffer from HIV/AIDS while they can develop their practical & leadership skills as future doctors and members of Greek society.This year, our project, AcHIVe, gives the opportunity to 15 medical students to have a life-time experience for 1,5 month in India!

Special thanks to Lina Zia for her contribution to the sector for this term by managing the Greek Student Global Citizen Event of March 2015.

Thank you also to all the Vice Presidents of the terms 2014 and 2015, that with their devotion, determination and commitment to offer the experience to every student, they made this happen!

More specifically from July 2014 till June 2015 we managed to offer this experience to 222 students, having 78% growth in comparison with last year.

The main projects that we are running are consisted of:

Evolutions of the year: Product Refreshment and Packaging for all national projects, in order to develop and implement projects that are relevant with the Greek reality.

Standardized Delivery Services. We managed to standardize the integration processes for the young volunteers that are coming in Greece such as induction conference and specific preparation depending on their project.

Sustainability of the programme. We have managed to create a stronger synergy between the corporate and non-corporate sales departments from LC level and to package this programme as CSR activity for companies. This helped us have a total amount of 28.155 Euros raised.

Youth Today. First corporate event for raising awareness for Greek societal issues. It was an event which aimed to raise awareness among young people and to instigate a more solution oriented approach.

career development economic growth cultural understanding

Our main entity partners were:

• Πώς αποφάσισες να κάνεις πρακτική άσκηση στο εξωτερικό και μάλιστα σε μια χώρα τόσο μακρινή όπως η Βραζιλία;

Ήταν κάτι που το ήθελα γιατί έψαχνα για εργασιακή εμπειρία. Επέλεξα τη Βραζιλία γιατί ήθελα να βιώσω την εμπειρία του να ζήσω σε μια άλλη ήπειρο και να γνωρίσω ένα τόσο διαφορετικό πολιτισμό.

• Η προσαρμογή σε ένα τέτοιο περιβάλλον ήταν δύσκολη για σένα;

Όχι. Όλοι εκεί με αγκάλιασαν, ήταν πολύ καλοί μαζί μου και από πλευράς εταιρείας αλλά και από πλευράς τοπικής επιτροπής. Θα έλεγα ότι έχουν μεσογειακό ταμπεραμέντο, κοντά στο δικό μας. Αυτό συνεπάγεται ότι κάνεις εύκολα φιλίες, γνωρίζεις εύκολα κόσμο, είναι φιλικοί οι άνθρωποι και σε βοηθάνε ο, τι χρειαστείς.

• Από άποψη ικανοτήτων τι θα έλεγες ότι κέρδισες εσύ από αυτή την εμπειρία;

Ανέπτυξα προσωπικές δεξιότητες, αποκόμισα πολύτιμη επαγγελματική εμπειρία και έμαθα να δουλεύω αποτελεσματικά σε ομάδες.

• Ποια στιγμή από την εμπειρία σου θυμάσαι πιο έντονα;

Θυμάμαι την πρώτη μέρα που πήγα στην εταιρεία. Σε όλη την εταιρία είχαν ελληνικές και βραζιλιάνικες σημαίες και υπήρχε ένα μεγάλο monitor στην είσοδο της εταιρείας που έγραφε “Welcome Konstantinos”. Αυτό πραγματικά με έκανε να αισθανθώ πιο άνετα και να σπάσει ο πάγος.

Κωνσταντίνος Γεωργούσης, συμμετέχων προγράμματος Global Talent

Global Talent Story• Υπάρχει κάτι που θα ήθελες να είχες κάνει διαφορετικά κατά τη διάρκεια της συμμετοχής σου στο πρόγραμμα;

Όχι νομίζω ότι η υποστήριξη που είχα από τα μέλη της AIESEC και από την εταιρεία εκεί ήταν πολύ καλή. Η εμπειρία μου ήταν μοναδική και είμαι πολύ ευχαριστημένος. Είναι κάτι που θα μου μείνει στη ζωή μου και θα το λέω στους φίλους και στα παιδιά μου.

• Αν τελικά έπρεπε να περιγράψεις την εμπειρία σου με τρεις λέξεις, ποιες θα ήταν αυτές;

Θα έλεγα αγάπη προς τους ανθρώπους που πραγματικά την οφείλεις και είναι τα μέλη της AIESEC, ασφάλεια, από την άποψη ότι αναλαμβάνουν κάθε πρόβλημα που μπορεί να σου προκύψει πριν, κατά τη διάρκεια και μετά το πρόγραμμα, και η τρίτη λέξη θα έλεγα ότι είναι η αισιοδοξία. Αντιμετωπίζεις το μέλλον με μεγαλύτερη αισιοδοξία, αλλάζει η ψυχική σου διάθεση, αισθάνεσαι πιο δυνατός, ότι έχεις πετύχει κάτι.

• Πιστεύεις ότι άλλαξες σαν άνθρωπος;

Σίγουρα! Έχω γίνει πιο εξωστρεφής, έχω κάνει καινούριες φιλίες, τα μάτια μου έχουν δει νέα τοπία και έχω μάθει και μια νέα γλώσσα. Είναι πολλά αυτά που παίρνεις και μάλιστα σε ένα μικρό διάστημα έξι μηνών, όπως πήγα εγώ.

• Έχεις κάποια άλλη σκέψη που θα ήθελες να μοιραστείς μαζί μας;

Θα ήθελα να πω στα νέα παιδιά να μη φοβούνται να τολμήσουν, να κάνουν αυτό που τους αρέσει, να μην έχουν την ανασφάλεια ότι θα βρεθούν σε μια ξένη χώρα και ένα ξένο περιβάλλον. Πηγαίνοντας σε μια ξένη χώρα θα σου δοθεί η ευκαιρία να αποδείξεις στον εαυτό σου και στους άλλους ότι αξίζεις, είσαι ανοιχτός στο διαφορετικό, ανοίγεις την καρδιά σου για να μάθεις κάτι καινούριο. Πρέπει να είμαστε δυνατοί, αισιόδοξοι και να μη φοβόμαστε να κάνουμε ένα βήμα παραπέρα.

ENGAGE ENABLE UNITE

The key to the above successes and the development of our people, is the fact that we never forgot to strive for relevance and active contribution to the issues that Greece faces. We focused into creating a collaborative environment between the corporate area and the biggest youth leadership provider in Greece in order to achieve progress together.

Behaving with professionalism & proactivity we built ownership upon a common ambition for Greece.

The field of Corporate Relations for AIESEC in Greece has been structured the last 3 years, having the right and appropriate human capital to work upon it and actually deliver qualitative and meaningful partnerships with the external environment.

The period that we are facing currently in Greece, the consistent unstable economical & political phase, made the term that started even trickier for the area of Corporate Relations in the organization. Although that provided a true mission for us, since having the right allies in the external environment equals our survival and sustainable growth as organization:

In the term 2014 2015, two Youth to Business Forums took place with great success.

Firstly, the external Youth to Business Forum on October 2014, in terms of the international Conference EuroCo that AIESEC in Greece hosted. 400 delegates & external students participated in the day with main theme of the day ’ Defying uncertainty’’ , calling youth to stretch out of its comfort zone and give tangible solutions, no matter the circumstances and the current instability of our society.

Following up, there was Youth to Business March 2015, in terms of our National Conference HeADCo 2015. The day was devoted to all the 350 AIESEC members participating in the conference with main theme ’ Triggering Innovation’’, calling the Greek youth to discover their personal and professional innovation by developing a global mindset along with an entrepreneurial spirit that will drive social change.

Both events followed the same agenda journey, Inspire Engage Act, which ensured that delegates were moved by key note speeches of great national and international leaders, following up with interactive workshops and closing the day with actionable spaces that they could take forward.
