leadership skills through international internships centered around social issues. The objective is to target our

country’s youth and help them enrich their education by offering them a holistic international experience.

the globe, take complete ownership in an unfamiliar environment, manage your own projects and track your results

– exactly as an entrepreneur would. AIESEC will support you through this experience and ensure that it challenges

your world view and helps you gain a unique combination of multi-cultural, social and entrepreneurial exposure.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AIESEC provides students with the opportunity to practice professional skills

in a multi cultural environment. Our volunteers gain hands on experience

working with NGOs and small businesses in local communities to develop rele-

vant and culturally suitable solutions. Projects in this category may deal in

finance , marketing, tourism, etc.

ENVIRONMENT Protecting the environment is a major part of the global development agenda

and volunteers can directly impact communities struggling with moving

towards becoming a little bit greener . Promote and participate in sustainable

development projects regarding energy conversation, pollution, climate

change, flora and fauna conservation, recycling, etc.

CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING AIESEC partners with NGOs and start-ups across the globe to create social

welfare project. Exchange participants have a tremendous impact to these

local communities: from designing and running events to promote cultural

understanding to working directly with youth in schools to teach them about

the world around them.

EDUCATION Education interns can provide a major impact to local communities by

fostering cultural understanding, improving basic work skills, or creating

passion for a second language. These opportunities are the most abundant

and available in the AIESEC network and are necessary for developing

countries as a necessary investment in humanity .

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use

to change the world."

With this phrase, Mandela sums up pretty much, the main objective of our focus pro-

gram, Young Power. An educational project which has renewed for a second wave, in the middle

of February, so more people from other countries, participate and form Greek students'

percpective towards the better.
