Ingoing Exchange Global Internship Programme & Global Community Development
AIESEC Denmark sources talent for businesses, government and educational institutions. The majority of opportunities for global youth in Denmark have been internships in Marketing and Sales, but we have also experienced an increase in the technical field such as computer programming and software development. Another type of internship is the one provided currently by our partner the Danish Efterskole Association where internal students come to provide cultural education to the students around Denmark.

Ingoing Exchange Global Community Development
In 2010 a partnership was created between the Efterskole Association and AIESEC as a project part of AIESEC Global Community Development Program. In the AIESEC Denmark Efterskole Project, AIESEC gives the opportunity to bring in bachelor and masters students from all over the world to take up a 2-month long internship at Danish Boarding Schools. These students are ”cultural teachers” sharing stories and teaching about their home cultures besides taking part in general teaching activities at the schools. It is a unique chance for the students to interact this close with different cultures and obtain a different perception of how the world looks through the eyes of young people from other parts of the world. This is also a great opportunity for the schools to show international young people how the concept of “Efterskoler” works in Denmark and for them to develop personally being challenged by young students from the Danish culture. The AIESEC students are proactive young people that come with loads of energy, fresh ideas and a proactive mindset to make a difference in the communities they work in. In the past two years we received interns from Serbia, Singapore, Italy, Hungary, Netherlands, Brazil, Estonia, Romania, Croatia, Germany, and Austria. 2012 is the third year we are running the project here in Denmark and it has been expanded to more cycles over the year, when schools can sign up and join.
