Vast amount of different possibilities for personal and professional development.
Exercise 1:
This is all very well…
But what does it mean?
All 4 characteristics are quite common
qualities to posses – but what do they
mean?
Active Learner
Cultural Sensitive
Entrepreneurial
Social Responsible
Consider these 4 persons who each posess 1 of the 4 characteristics:
What type of persons could they be? – describe and come up with some examples.
Discuss in groups of 6
What would be the qualities this person has from this characteristic? What does it provide?
Consider a person who posesses all these characteristics.
What would be the synergy effects? What qualities would it provide the person with?
Why has the organisation chosen to focus on these 4 change agent characteristics as
opposed to hundreds of other characteristics?
“We connect young people globally to help our world become a
better place…”

Why do we use exchange as the tool of our activity? What are the benifits of this
compared to other tools we could build our learning around?
Exercise 2:
Split into groups of 6:
Why do we use exchange as the tool of our activity?
What are the benifits of this compared to other tools we could build our learning
around? (In relation to being a platform for facilitating change agent
characteristics)
Split into 2 subgroups:
Each subgroup takes the role of each of these interestgroups: • Alumni • University
They have lost faith in the fact that exchange is the most efficient for facilitating learning in respect to creating change agent characteristics. What would be their arguments? What could be the alternative?
Challenge this!
Come back in the groups:
List the arguments and alternatives the interestgroups have made.
Counter argue!
Sum up and get ready to present for the plenary…
Why do we use exchange as the tool of our activity? Why is this the best platform for creating
change agent characteristics?

development? What structures would need to be in place?
How can AIESEC be the best possible platform for facilitating learning in regards to the Change
Agent characteristics?
