(4) Conferences (Local/ National/ Regional/ International) AIESEC committees host a number of conferences every year that range in length and demographic scope.

!

The purpose of these conferences is to bring together the international community of AIESEC members

to enhance their professional skills,

provide networking opportunities, and work on

AIESEC’s organisational strategy.

(5) Cultural Envoy for Exchange and Development (CEED) The Cultural Envoy for Exchange Development (CEED) program is an internal exchange program between two

#Local Committees (LC) within AIESEC.

!

The program sends members from one LC to work as a member at an international LC for the purpose of best practice sharing, partnership development, member development and cultural exchange. The program serves as an excellent way to give members an incredible international AIESEC experience while allowing the LC to develop partnerships with strategic countries. #Any

FAQ Feel free to ask your friendly seniors any questions!

?

What is the workload for Global Leader (Team Member/ Team Leader programme)?

Depending on your role in your department, you are expected to work on average 5-10 hours per week.

!

We believe in receiving more when you do more. Thus when you take up more opportunities, you will also gain more learning experiences.

?

I read that Global Leader offers international experiences. How exactly does this work?

A member of AIESEC in Singapore has the exclusive opportunity to get to know and interact with other AIESECers in NTU, SMU and SIM. In addition, there are many international conferences and opportunities for our members to interact with like-minded youths around the world, thereby expanding their network.

?

I did not attend the Information Talks.

Can I still apply for Global Leader?

Yes! The Information Talks serve to provide you with a deeper understanding of us and our programmes, but it does not mean that you cannot apply if you did not attend the talks. If you have any questions with regards to the programme, feel free to ask any senior or drop us a ring/email!

FAQ Feel free to ask your friendly seniors any questions!

?

Can I just join the Global Leader programme without the Global Citizen programme?

You will not be able to do so.

!

As our Team Members (TMs) and Team Leaders (TLs) are the ones in charge of managing the Global Citizen Programme, it is important that our members go through the programme themselves. In AIESEC, we also believe that to develop entrepreneurs and responsible young leaders, they need to have a global perspective towards current aairs. Hence, the Global Leader and Global Citizen Programme come as a package.

?

How much do I have to pay to join the Global Leader programme?

You will be only have to pay for the Global Citizen Programme

(S$515). The Team Member and Team Leader programmes come at no cost. However, conferences are self-funded.
