ERAC 2022: LEADING FOR PEACE

/0 Comments/in /by

ERAC 2022 MANIFESTO

In 1948, a group of visionary people from different countries came together to create and promote actions for peace and fulfillment of humankind’s potential. And that’s how AIESEC was born!

In Europe, we are now going through challenging times of crisis. In the unfortunate context of the war in Ukraine, we have decided to get back to basics and to redesign the agenda of ERAC on LEADING FOR PEACE.

AIESEC Alumni are change agents, leaders in their countries, businesses, and communities. It is time to come together and build solutions for a better shared future, based on AIESEC values – peace, collaboration, respect, and intercultural understanding.

Join us at ERAC, between 26 -29 May, in Bucharest and be part of the most important mission for all of us: LEADING FOR PEACE.

We aim to:

– Promote solutions for interpersonal conflict management

– Elaborate ideas and projects for a better common future

– Achieve results, tangible contributions to take back home

– Collaborate on international projects

– Elevate our joint response to the global challenges.

We welcome all AIESEC Alumni who believe in the unique power and potential of our Global Community.

Register now and join us at ERAC 2022!

We stand for Peace

/0 Comments/in /by

For many of us here at the board of AIESEC Alumni Europe the fall of the iron curtain in 1989 was the moment which enabled us to live the free life we live today. The vision of AIESEC, the organization we cherish so much as Alumni, is ‘Peace and Fulfillment of Humankind’s Potential’.

War and violence are never the path to achieve anything but destruction. The suffering, the loss of life caused by this war makes us feel extremely sad, helpless and our hearts hurt seeing what is unfolding on our European continent.

We feel extremely worried by the now real possibility of the iron curtain to reappear.

We are not powerless. Peace is the basis to fulfill humankind’s potential, and this is what we all need to stand up for. Our thoughts are with all the people who suffer so much under this war.

We ask you to support AIESECers and Alumni in Ukraine.
We ask you to stay connected with AIESECers and alumni in Russia.

Only with open communication, we can hope to build bridges and bring everyone back to the table.

Cleanup day in Brussels-Schaerbeek – Interview to Jan Peeters

/0 Comments/in /by

No matter how complicated this year was, AIESEC Alumni is not stopping its activities toward the well being of the earth. One of the main international activities organized in this area is the World Cleanup Day, the annual event where individuals gather for one day all over the globe to pick up trash and get rid of unwanted waste in public places. Last year this one-day-event united around 20 million people in 180 countries!

In 2020 the pandemic slowed us down, but in Brussels-Schaerbeek the World Cleanup Day took place in complete respect to the pandemic safety regulations and we are glad to link you to the interview that Krisztina Kapuvari did to Jan Peeters, from the board of AIESEC Alumni in Belgium to let us know more about the organiser’s perspective.

/0 Comments/in /by

In autumn 2019, AIESEC Alumni Europe announced the next Alumni Theme Programme: Living Sustainably. Alumni and National Alumni Associations will run projects, discussions and campaigns around this topic over the next two years.

Living sustainably should

  • give us all the opportunity to think about our current lifestyle, relationships, actions and environment,
  • create awareness for environmental topics,
  • lead to changes in our lifestyle, relationships, actions and environment and
  • spur engagement with alumni and the community to make those changes happen.

Sustainable Development Goals especially targeted:

Projects and actions of the different alumni and National Alumni Associations are collected on a website. We will publish the link later.

Alumni living the AIESEC Values

/0 Comments/in /by

AIESEC Alumni Europe started the AIESEC Values in campaign mid-July and features alumni from all over Europe and the world who live the values. 

AIESEC agreed on a set of shared behaviors – the values – that shape its organizational culture. These values bring the AIESEC Way to life by guiding our everyday actions and decisions.

Following IPM 1999, AIESEC needed to complete the values component of its description that would guide our actions and operations. At International Congress 1999 in South Africa, AIESEC ran through a process for doing this and also explored what it needed to do to utilize its common association global description and ideals to increase its profile, impact and results. Half a year later at IPM 2000 the organization agreed on the VALUES and simplified the THE WAY WE DO IT statement – it was an historical event in which the global association confirmed its commitment by legislating the complete description.

While the pictures and icons that go with the values were adjusted over the years, the values remained as they were: Enjoying Participation – Acting Sustainably – Living Diversity – Demonstrating Integrity – Activating Leadership – Striving for Excellence.

Thirty alumni from 24 countries (Australia, Benin, Bulgaria, Cameroon, Croatia, France, Germany, Hongkong, Hungary, India, Italy, Ivory Coast, Lithuania, Macedonia, Nigeria, Peru, Romania, Singapore, Slovakia, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, United States, UK) tell us how they live, see and feel the values in their everyday life.
