The AIESEC Way is explained trough an adapted version of the Golden Circle model which provides a simple and powerful explana8on of what we believe in and what drives us.
Our Foundation
AIESEC was founded after the Second World War by a group of young people from Europe (Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden). The political and social context of the time shaped our fundamental principles.
The perception of 'peace' has evolved. We now know peace starts with people accepting, understanding, and embracing what makes us unique. We inhabit a world that is interconnected, globalised, and technologically prolific. In such rapidly changing circumstances, we believe that young people must learn to adapt quickly and solve a diverse, growing range of problems.
That is why AIESEC strive for Peace & Fulfillment of Humankind's Potential
In today’s context, ‘Peace’ does not only mean avoiding war. Peace can refer to a world where no conflict arises from cultural, religious, or other differences in humanity. Peace can also refer to being in harmony with yourself. AIESEC's aspiration is for every young person to work towards their understanding of peace and take collaborative action towards fostering a better world.

Through “Fulfillment of Humankind’s Potential", AIESEC envisions a world where people continually become better versions of themselves and empower others along the way.
Why
Who
Getting young adults involved and developing them is essential. We believe that we as young people have the responsibility to create a long-lasting, positive impact on our own lives, our communities, and the world at large. We trust that we will drive and shape the future with our passion, dynamism, and innovative spirit.
AIESEC is a platform that strives to unlock the potential within humankind. We do that by enabling young people to demonstrate and live by values based on AIESEC's leadership development model. We believe that challenging experiences with AIESEC and leading with values in mind paves the way for a positive impact.
