The AIESEC Way
The AIESEC Values
OUR
HISTORY
in 1948
AIESEC was established in 1948 after World War II, where seven youth across seven countries had a dream of building cross-cultural understanding across nations. They hoped to change the world, one person and one internship at a time. 10 years later, in 1958, AIESEC in Canada was founded in Montreal.
in 1977
AIESEC was present in 50 countries across six continents! To this date, over 40,000 young people around the world had participated in a leadership development experience.
in 2010
AIESEC crosses 10,000 experiences delivered in one year alone for the first time. By now, over 230,000 experiences have been provided, all facilitated by youth for youth.
in 2015
AIESEC’s youth leaders from 126 countries and territories in collaboration with the Office of the Secretary-General's Envoy on Youth gathered at the United Nations Headquarters to promote and drive youth participation in implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The relevance and contribution of AIESEC is clearer than ever.
today
AIESEC has become a global network of young people that simply believe that youth leadership is not an option, but our responsibility. Now the question is:
Will you join us?
