We Are Touching Lives unleashing Impact - Our Promise
iNTERVIEW WITH Michael eberspacher , 25 ( Germany )
My name is Michael, 25 years old from Germany and I was workingin a nursery and primary school, cal led Kireka C parents, in a slum area in Kampala, Uganda, for 6 weeks as a teacher and as an advisor.Next to my math lessons I gave daily, I also took care of the kids in the break, did some physical training with them, sang, danced and laughed with them. I real ly loved my job in the school and especial lythe children. It was amazing and a lot of fun although and maybebecause of the reason that the conditions in the school were notcomparable to anything I’ve seen before in Europe.
Tel l Me About Yourself and work
What Do You Mean?I mean seeing the kids in the school and the people in generalin this area, struggling for food, their huts without access torunning , hot water, even sometimes without access to electricity, without anything luxurious. Reduced on a minimum level. Reduced just on essential things. Nothing more! But sti l l the kids and in general the people were so satisfied with their situation. That was the most impressive thing I ever experienced. I mean nobody is
dissatisfied or is greedy. You can see smiling, friendly, warmhearted people in every corner, at every single place, everywhere you are! People, who live at the border of the poverty level, but sti l l they invite you for lunch. People, who are needy, but sti l l they want to help even more needy people. Kids, who haven’t a real playground,but sti l l they create one and they have fun with the things which arearound them.
What Would You Recommend About Your Exchange? Cultural exposure In my opinion the most challenging and also most impressive part was the cultural difference between Uganda and Germany. This is really worth to experience and more than recommendable!

PURPOSE OF AIM M
ain
Activitie
s
IMPLEMENTATION IN LCs: Select Africa in Me_ Responsible in your LC Provide your EPs with database of
contacts of local artists, singer, musicians, cooking places..Collect stories and videos from your EPs and upload them on YouTube named as: AfricainMe,
Es Sense aCtiv8 joy
ePic Moments Untold Africa
The EP can organise Games and Sports
for children in the community and then
take photos and videos to be shared
ePIC Moments requires EPs to tell the story behind the
picture of their choice, bringing it to life and sharing it
with the people back home. All local committees of AIESEC
in Africa, and around the world, will also use the images
for promotion of Africa as the first choice destination for
AIESEC internships and also to better portray what Africa truly
is, breaking stereotypes and helping us build a new story;
“Sensing the essence of Africa”
African arts in their different formats (crafts, music, dance and story-telling)
give us and will give you a sense of our genuine African life style while also
giving you the opportunity to experience and appreciate our cultural heritage.
The EPs will then organize an event to experience and learnfrom them and
their craft as a way to dignify life. All videos will beused to showcase EPs
experience and what they have learned from the artist that chosen.
What a better way to have fun, learn, have a great time and become
a promoter of our Africa, YOUR Africa!
This activity require EPs to volunteer at an NGO or
shadow an influential community leader for at least
a day. During this day, EP’s role will be to act as a
reporter of what this person and organizations do
and how they contribute to the building of a better
Africa. We expect EPs to create a short video documentary
as output, so that we can together get this stories out in the open
and >start portraying a different face of Africa.
A b o u t N P S Net Promoter ScoreAIESEC’s commitment to creating high-quality, impactfulexperiences motivates a constant drive for us to continueto improve our operations. This year, to empower a more dynamic response to feedback, AI began to test the useof Net Promoter Score to evaluate programme participant satisfaction. The Net Promoter Score is a customer loyaltymetric that can be used to gauge the loyalty of an organisation’s customer relationships. It is based on a simple question based on a scale of 0-10, “How likely areyou to recommend this experience?” Pilots are currently underway in a nmuber of entities including Uganda .
Why?•Why customer care is relevant?People living na ELD Programme want to be satis�ed with the experience. Caring about them will help us identifydelivery bottlenecks making us more fast-responding towards our “customer” needs.•Why we do fire-fighting?Credibility is about people trusting on our organization. To be trusted by whoever lives an AIESEC ELD Programme, we must take care of any problems that must appear, this is called �re-�ghting. By “extinguishing” this �re, we can eliminate possible detractors.Must-Read: Quality Promise Wiki
NPS is based on the fundamental that organization’s customers can be divided into three categories: Promoters, Passives, and Detractors.
HOW DOES IT WORK? AI is partnering with CG ( Customer Guage) for an IT system, all participants in all programs ( Matched, realised and Completed) are sent a survey to assess how their experience was with one of the ELD Programs ( GCDP, TLP,TMP,GIP) Every Pilot Country / Entity has a country Login and then the MC is suppossed to create the Local Chapter Logins.
