Foreword by our President

Name: Nicolas Van Spilbeeck Studies: 2 MA Applied Economic Sciences - Business Engineering Current Position: Local Committee President AIESEC Experience: External Relations Member (2011-2012) Vice President Project Management (2012-2013)

Motivation: After my exchange experience in the United States I realized I wanted to do something more during my time as a student besides just studying. Obviously, AIESEC was the perfect choice for me since it combines everything I’m looking for: internationalization, professionalism and having fun! I’ve met tons of new people and did some great stuff while I was part of a real-time organization. If you want to go for it, anything is possible! For example, in October I’m going to Ukraine on an international conference! That is just amazing! Local Committee President: As an LCP, my responsibility lies in guiding and assisting all Vice Presidents in their specific work environments in order to create convergences and coherence in the mission of AIESEC UA. By carefully watching over the VPs and making sure they can develop themselves in the best possible way, I am capable of making a difference for all members and other stakeholders of AIESEC Antwerp Office. Within AIESEC, anyone can make a difference and have an everlasting impact on society and yourself. Join our organization and find out what opportunities are there for you!

AIESEC is the global youth network impacting the world through leadership development experiences. AIESEC has been facilitating youth leadership activities as well as international internships & volunteer experiences for over 65 years, developing a global learning environment across 124 countries & territories. Vision Peace and fulfillment of humankind’s potential. Scope 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. AIESEC does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, sexual orientation, creed, religion, national, ethnic or social origin.


History The idea behind AIESEC started in the 1930s, when representatives from schools across Europe exchanged information about various programs and schools that specialized in business and economics. Students were carrying out internships in other countries, but mostly on their own initiative, and it all came to a standstill with the onslaught of World War II. In 1948 though, delegates Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden founded AIESEC in Liège, Belgium. In 1949 already 89 students participated in the so-called "Stockholm Congress", the first of many exchange programs.

Soon AIESEC became popular: by the end of 1960 already 2,467 exchanges were reported, and 4,232 by the end of 1970. A landmark in AIESEC history was the “International Theme Program” that officially established all international, regional, and local seminars on specific topics, which in time grew to be a guideline for future AIESEC generations. In the following decades, debated topics were international trade, management education, sustainable development, entrepreneurship, innovation and corporate social responsibility. Looking for more relevance, nowadays AIESEC is the international platform for young people to explore and develop their potential. Our innovative approach to developing young people focuses on taking a proactive role, developing self-awareness and a personal vision, building networks, and developing capacity to drive change. We do this through an international platform that provides leadership & work abroad opportunities, conferences, and virtual tools to build networks.

Outgoing Exchange (OGX)

Name: Barbara Van der Brempt Studies: 3 BA Applied Economic Sciences - Business administration Current Position: Vice President Outgoing Exchange AIESEC Experience: Team Leader Outgoing Exchange (2013)

Motivation: I joined AIESEC because I wanted to go on an exchange. I was curious about the foreign working environment and did not want to stay in Belgium for my first job. This choice was logical after I lived and studied in Brazil for one year. But soon enough I realized that exchange was not the only thing that AIESEC had to offer. Therefore, I decided to take part in this vibrant student organization that offers leadership development possibilities both on an international and on a local university level. There is so much you can do, but it is up to you to decide what your experience will be with AIESEC. Outgoing Exchange: If you put the OGX team within a professional working environment, you can recognize various similar aspects. It is much more than HR, Marketing and Public Speaking. It is the responsibility to introduce the AIESEC platform to the right audience of students, in which they can pursue the international working experience they have always dreamed of. We offer these students 2 remunerated exchange programs: the GIP on a professional level (Global internship Program) and the GCDP on a voluntary basis (Global Community Development Program). OGX members are trained on selling and marketing skills in order to reach a broad range of students and make impact on their lives.

Name: Charlotte Van Lent Studies: 1 MA Applied Economic Sciences - Business Engineering Current Position: Vice President Incoming Exchange AIESEC Experience: External Relations Member (2011 - 2012) Vice President Outgoing Exchange (2012 - 2013)

Motivation: Already during my second year of Bachelor in the University of Antwerp, I wanted to do more with my time as a student, except from partying and studying. That is why I joined AIESEC, to develop myself on a personal and professional level and of course to meet a lot of interesting other students. It was a huge success since I met probably the most interesting students on the University campus, I got in touch with major companies, I had a chance to take up responsibilities, and I also have contact with people from all over the world. Incoming Exchange: As you probably know, with AIESEC you have the chance to do an internship abroad, but people from all over the world are also coming to AIESEC UA to do their international internship. Incoming Exchange is responsible for the selection of the interns, getting them to Belgium, and making sure they have the time of their life with us in Antwerp.

Motivation: While I’m looking forward to my first international internship after graduation, I gained essential skills in AIESEC that I could not learn as a student elsewhere. Where do you get the chance to get in touch with influential professionals of the biggest companies? Only AIESEC gave me the opportunity to do market research and to build professional relationships that will prove useful for my future career. The more I do in this incredible organization, the more I gain! External Relations: The ER team offers the opportunity to get an inside view into the business world. We are responsible for developing business relations with SMEs as well as several of the world’s biggest companies. Our goal is to enhance communication and foster relationships with existing and new partner companies by networking on a professional level and creating sales strategies to sell AIESEC in company visits.

Communications (COMM)

Name: Yanni Vissers Studies: 2 MA Applied Economic Sciences - Business Engineering Current Position: Vice President Communications AIESEC Experience: External Relations Member (2012) Vice President External Relations (2012 - 2013)

Motivation: The past year I was the Vice-President External Relations at AIESEC UA. I started my AIESEC career after studying in the United States for a year. As Business Engineer I sought to further develop my business skills, with an international touch, and therefore joined AIESEC, the premier youth-driven business organisation in the world. At AIESEC I actively contacted companies in order to develop my sales skills but most importantly I could develop my leadership skills. There is no other student organization in the world that can offer the same variety of interesting opportunities and therefore I chose AIESEC. Communications: The communications team is a brand new initiative form this year on. Our team is responsible for all internal communication channels such as member newsletters but also external communication channels such as the Unifac Post, the design of flyers and posters, etc. However, COMM is not only a back-office track since we are also in charge of organizing a splendid Stakeholders Event (a.k.a. “SHE”)at the end of another amazing AIESEC year.

Project Management (PM)

Motivation: When I first heard I could work together with great companies, I immediately joined AIESEC. Although I was only a 2nd Bachelor student, I was already working together with Telenet, Unilever, Microsoft, Google, etc. Meeting company representatives, doing my own presentations, creating marketing plans… It all became part of my life when I joined AIESEC. Afterwards, my skills were tested once more when I worked in a team to organize a three-day conference for more than 100 people. With AIESEC, I can do whatever I’m interested in and get challenged to develop my skills that will later prove useful in my career. Project Management The PM Team is responsible for several events organized by AIESEC UA. That’s why PM is so diverse. We organize both the Champagne Cantus as the Job Fair, and everything in between. It’s our responsibility that the organization of these events goes as smooth as possible, while working together in a team of 4-6 people. With PM, you will also be working together with other teams from AIESEC, like the COMM team for marketing and the Finance Team for the budget of these events.
