Alumni living the AIESEC Values
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.

StepUp Conference 2017
In Mid-November, 20 leaders from 9 European countries met in London, UK, for the StepUp conference of AIESEC Alumni Europe. The goal was to get-to-know each other, work on the planning of the NAAs and decide on the new Alumni Theme Programme.
The delegates arrived on Friday and enjoyed great discussions during drinks and dinner. This continued Saturday evening with a Warehouse Party with several more alumni from London.
After an introduction on Saturday morning, the countries worked on their planning and presented the highlights to group: more members, more activities, more impact. Among the event highlights for 2018 are
- the WU Ball by AAAustria (13 January 2018),
- the ERAC & National Alumni Conference by AABulgaria (10-13 May 2018)
- the AIESEC & Alumni Rhine Cruise by AAGermany (28-30 September 2018),
- the WOWcheWeekend by AAItaly ( May 2018) and
- the International Start Up Meeting by AAUK (9 June 2018).
The afternoon was dedicated to the Alumni Theme Programme (ATP). In the past two years, a handful of projects took place in Austria, Germany and Italy to the theme „Intercultural collaboration – through education and sustainable economy“. After the theme was closed, the new ATP Manager Angelique Russo presented different projects linked to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and presented the results of a survey on the goals. AIESEC Alumni care most about SDG#4 „Quality Education“, SDG#16 „Peace and Justice“ and SDG#1 „No Poverty“.
Angelique Russo – ATP Manager
The discussion on a new theme lasted for several hours and in the end the participants chose „Break out of the Routine“ as the new Alumni Theme Programme. AAE says that “we have a positive impact on the world by continuously improving ourselves, our society and our environment. We challenge the status quo. Our actions are meaningful and we change our perspective. We give back our knowledge and experiences to leverage the network. With our contribution we inspire youth AIESEC, AIESEC Alumni and the communities in Europe.“
