So... What is AIESEC?
T
he year was 1948 and Europe lay in ruins, this is when 7 European students, inspired to do something positive to avoid the destruction left by the war from ever happening again; they decided to take action and founded an organization focused on promotion of Peace and Understanding between cultures. Driven by their vision, they met in Belgium and founded the International Association of Students of the Economic
and Market Sciences (AIESEC for its original name in French). Aiesec is a global, non-political, independent, not-for-profit organization run by students and recent graduates of institutions of higher education. Our members are interested in world issues, leadership and management. We don´t discriminate on the basis of race, colour, gender, sexual orientation, creed, religion, national, ethnic or social origin. 4
