At the core of AIESEC, we strive for the development of youth leadership.

We believe it is youth that have the poten al to shape the future and influence

a be er world. With that in mind, AIESEC as a global organiza on has chosen to

work closely with The United Na ons, as they make youth a priority in seeing

this posi ve change. In 2015, The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were

launched.

The SDGs, or Global Goals, are a universal set of goals, targets and indicators

that UN member states will be expected to use to frame their agendas and

poli cal policies over the next 15 years. These goals aim to achieve three

extraordinary things in the next 15 years: end extreme poverty, fight inequality

and jus ce, and fix climate change. As an organiza on, AIESEC aims to align

what we do around what the world needs. And what the world needs is to

know The Global Goals, but more importantly, understand how they can

contribute to them. Through our exchange programs such as Global Citizen,

our mission is to develop relevant projects and ac vi es in order to make an

impact that contribute directly to The Global Goals.

Inorder for AIESEC in Mexico to contribute towards building a better country, we

recognized the importance of aligning our incoming Global Citizen projects to The

Global Goals. Por Mexico is our national program developed in order to address the

needs and issues within Mexico, with each specific project addressing one Global

Goal. We aim to provide tangible solu ons and ac ons towards these issues. Through

our projects, we strive to empower youth, communi es and government to act with

a sense of urgency in building a be er Mexico.

Toluca, which is the capital of the State of Mexico, is located an hour away from

Mexico City. It is the highest city in Mexico at 8,844 feet above sea level.

Toluca is known as “La Bella”, or the Beautiful, for its 19th century colonial architec-

ture in the downtown area. However, today the city is better known for its highly

developed industrial sector. Toluca has an active cultural life and the second highest

number of museums after Mexico City. It is also known for tasty dishes,

Our currency is the Mexican Peso (MXN). The salary you earn is enough for you to cover basic expenses. However, you should know that you will be paid only after the first month of work. We recommend that you bring $ 600 USD for the expenses of your first month. It is best to change money at the airport, where there are many currency exchange offices. Look for one with the highest amount "Buy". Credit cards are accepted in many places, but also you should bring some cash with you. VISA and Mastercard cards are more popular Mexico. Once in Mexico, you will open a bank account where you receive payments from your practice.

We have the coins of 10, 20 and 50 cents; and 1, 2, 5 and 10 pesos.

Currency

BillsWe have 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 value. Over the past decade there have been many changes in the material used for the accounts due to security reasons, so it is likely to find a similar made of plastic-like paper material.

FoodThe real mexican food is very different from all the Tex-Mex or foreign mexican restaurants. If you are interested in adventure you’ll be well compensated in México. Most food is overly seasoned and extremely hot, but also extremely delicious. We recomend you take it easy at first, so that your body gets used to it and you can enjoy the most of it. We’ve chosen some of the culinary beauties that are easy to get.

The BasicsTortillaThe most eaten food of Mexicans, tortillas can be made from flour (more common in the north) or corn (the traditional method and the most common in the south). Often they are served with a meal as would be the bread in other countries. The most common dish that uses tortilla are the tacos.

BeansA good source of protein, beans are commonly boiled and then fried. They can be a main ingredient in a meal or served almost always as a garnish.

ChiliesIn general, the bigger the chili, the taste is softer. The poblano peppers are large and are filled and served as a main dish, while the small havanero is fiercely hot.

GuacamoleCut avocado with onion, garlic, chilies and cilantro. It is served as a dip.

SalsaIt is commonly associated with red or green blend of tomatoes, onion, chile and cilantro. It is served on the table as a dressing or dip. Beware habanero sauces and try always try some salsa before a precaution.
