Introduction Reflecting on 2011/12

As a local committee, AIESEC Osijek has been going through a lot of changes in the past few

years. From an entity that was struggling hard to retain its membership in 2008, our LC has

grown to become one of the leading entities in AIESEC in Croatia. With every term, we strived

to achieve even bigger goals which eventually led to our committee now consisting of more than

50 active members, managing 10 sustainable projects, 27 exchanges, having 9 local

partnerships and realizing cooperation with more than 25 companies and organizations.

The term 2011/12 was all about raising the quality of our existing projects, introducing new ones

and achieving even higher goals when it comes to exchange results. This term was special for

another reason – we celebrated our 50th anniversary!

This has been a challenging and an interesting year in which we learned a lot and put a lot of

effort into making a step further and going beyond our usual ways to ensure AIESEC Osijek

grows even more. We would like to thank our members, alumni, professors and partners for

enabling this growth and supporting us in every step of the way!

This report is an overview of all the important events and activities in the 2011/12 term.

Enjoy your reading!

Local Committee President 2011/12
