Saturday- Connecting deeper to act more wisely

The day started with morning plenary where countries showed their presence with shouts and roll calls and energized the room.

Then three partner organizations told their story of sustainable leadership. Martin WandmakerfromDPWN/DHL highlighted the need for connectingnetworks and corporations being the social organizations. Kelly Michel, founder ofArtemisia presented her theory of economic and social cooperation thatprovides social solutions. Max Oliva and Lotfi El-Ghandouri from IE Business School encouraged individuals to act based on their passion. These valuesare very close to IE, which is developing social innovators and so increase the impact on society.

These stories inspired, the examples opened new questions and the scene was set up for conversations around the broad topic of sustainability.

Toke Mller opened the space with explaining the principles, which helped participants to understand the process. Toke proposed the question of the day:What questions, issues or projects do I care enough to explore now?

AIESEC Members and alumni had so many topics they were eager to host a conversation around. In the middle of the room was a stage with purple flowers,

colored papers and pencils. Individuals with questions came to the stage, wrote down their questions and read it loud to the plenary assembled in massive

concentric circles as a symbol of opening a conversation. Anyone sharing same passion was welcome to join. The room was buzzing with ideas and excitement.Some people cared so much for their topic that their voice and hands were shaking from excitement. Amazing! The topics were put on a wall. Over 50 spaceswere ready. During three work sessions participants could move around different topics, join different conversations. At the end of the day many powerful

thoughts and ideas were shared. Some of the conversations created commitments and individuals are making them happen after the event.

The harvest is captured in the

graphic drawing, pictures, aswell as individual

conversations and inspiration.

Sunday- Inspiring conscious commitment to act sustainably

The Sunday was very exciting. It was about turning the conversations that matter into action that makes a difference.

Oscar Motomura, an incredibly inspiring and successful entrepreneur, well known for his sustainable

approach, came to share a few thougths with the participants. Mr Motomura presented his Reflections

on Ethics and the process of making things happen: effective implementation of solutions for critical

sustainability equations. Deciding to act small because it is more comfortable is not ethicalwas justone of the learning points he presented.

The room was silent.The crowd of AIESEC stakeholders with diverse background is the right group of people

realizing their dreams. The facilitators team energized the crowd with different exercises. People were excited. And

than the question of the day was posted:

What action are you ready to commit to NOW?

Participants spent several minutes in silent reflection until the movement started. Individuals wrote their commitments on a paper, walked around the room tofind people who would like to join them or who have the same desire for action. This created the next level of conversations when people actually decided to

go and take that step to make a change. The floor was open for sharing the commitments laudly in the plenary. Who ever felt to speak came to the center of the

circle and everybody else was watching the courage and listening to the diverse ideas. My commitment is to read more about CSR to get deeper

understanding was one voice, and in silence, fifty other people stand up to support this person. You could hear the eagerness in the voice of alumni, members

and partners telling I will do it! One group of people even prepared a song reflecting

some of the ideas and sang it to the sound of a guitar.

This was very powerful ending of the open space. Participants enjoyed working togetherin a very diverse group of AIESEC members, alumni and partners. Lots of ideas were born.

The way how these three days were organized was new. Using the methodologies

such as Art of Hosting and processes inspired by Appreciative Inquiry helped to

provide the space where each participant could participate.

Letter from Global Alumni Relations Manager at AIESEC International

Dear alumni, dear AIESECers,

It has been an exciting year of meeting old and new friends, an year of reconnections, an year of coming back to AIESEC, throughout the world. More than ever

members and past generations are close to each other and more than ever, there are high expectations of what those connections will evolve to. More than

ever before AIESEC has taken a stand to re-connect with its alumni and provide them opportunities to stay involved with AIESEC and the past year of efforts hasbeen a clear sign to manifest this will. AIESEC has made a call throughout the world: I want to meet you again.

After the moments of meeting again, all of us carry the moral obligation of strengthening those connections and extending them to more AIESEC fellows.

Meeting each other is great, but staying together and capitalizing on those connections is what would really matter to each of us. Therefore, on behalf of

AIESEC International, I invite you to celebrate not only the anniversaries we all share, but to celebrate every day being part of 60 generations of AIESEC. In the

coming year AIESEC will continue its commitment to alumni engagement. We are now in the final stage of testing a brand new alumni module, which will

upgrade MyAIESEC.net and hopefully will provide the needed platform and functionalities for you to be in touch with each other and with AIESEC daily.

Throughout the development process AIESEC International has been working closely with different generation of alumni to ensure that their needs arereflected in the functionalities of the system. Only thus the 60th Anniversary will be just the beginning and we as AIESEC International team will be working for

this. I hope you will join us in our efforts to let more people know about this new virtual meeting point, once we launch the system in October. Stay tuned!

Best regards and meet you soon on the alumni module of MyAIESEC.net

Letter from President AIESEC International

Dear all,

When our term started, I received a mail from a former PAI showing interest in coming to our office and share with us his perspective on what are the key

challenges that AIESEC has to overcome in this years and some tips on how we could make it happen.

His name is Bernd Thomas and he was elected PAI (Secretary General) on 1958.

In AIESEC, he did four internships in France, USA, Nigeria and Tokyo. He was also the first AI Executive Envoy to Asia and, during his PAI term, he followed up the

expansion initiative and fix the location of the AI Office.

His AIESEC Career became the beginning of a path of success that lead him to share management responsibility creating the culture of the Volkswagen Beetle

of the 60s and the building of the BMW brand as a market leader from the 70s to the 90s.

Today he applies his experience to promote world-wide regional development by means of cooperative clustering through The Competitiveness Institute and

Professor Michael Porter.

Mr. Thomas ended up coming to our office and shared with my team his perspectives. Not surprising, some of those concepts are reflected in our plan.

Furthermore, he also sponsors the Norman Barnett Bharat Bhasin Award whose impact we all had the pleasure to witness.

I am committed to join Bernd Thomas and other like Victor Lowenstein, Jan Choplin, JJ Elkin, and 60 Generations of key AIESECers in a journey of individual

achievement and cooperation with AIESEC.

The door is open and I am sure that you are also welcome.

Happy 60th Anniversary!

Juan Cajiao
