Welcome to AIESEC Twente! Dear student, Congratulations! By reading this booklet you have taken the first step to being part of the AIESEC & Make a Move Twente board! Here you will find the details on what we do, what positions will be vacant and the expectations there are from you as a board member. However I will start with something else, because AIESEC & Make a Move is different from many other organizations here at university. AIESEC is an organization with a clear purpose This means that we focus a lot on how you develop personally as well as professionally. We provide trainings, you get personal coaching, and you create your own opportunities to learn what you want to learn! For sure you get to know more about yourself and you will be guided in putting this into words (very convenient for a job interview!). You attend conferences nationally and can even do so internationally! In this way you get in contact with different companies (future employer maybe?) and cultures. AIESEC is the second -largest NGO in the world and offers an, international platform for young people to explore and develop their leadership potential. We develop responsible, global-minded leaders through our exchange programs, our board positions, and our Make A Move career events. In 2014, AIESEC is present in 125 countries and has over 100,000 members across the world. Together, we develop leadership for a positive impact on society.

What your AIESEC experience will bring you exactly, is for you to decide.. Are you up for the challenge?

We hope that reading through this booklet will help you form a better idea of what AIESEC is and what we can offer you; and that you will be as enthusiastic about it as we are!

National conferences During these multiple-day conferences (organized twice a year) all the AIESEC board members gather together, to get to know each other and to share experiences. These days consist of trainings and strategic sessions, where we’re all discussing the short and long term strategic direction of AIESEC the Netherlands. And most of all, it is all about fun and getting to know new people!

Convents & Reception Weekends Every six weeks, the full time boards (EBs) gather for convents in one of our eleven cities. We discuss progress and strategies in our functional areas and align our operations nationally. Following convents, we organize Reception Weekends. These two-day events bring together (full and part time) members of AIESEC the Netherlands and our international trainees, for a weekend full of bonding and fun! International Conferences Every year, AIESEC organizes around 500 international conferences globally! Every member of AIESEC is able to attend these amazing conferences. The special thing about such a conference is that you will be able to interact with hundreds of students from all across the world. In every AIESEC conference, we pay a lot of attention to personal development and leadership. It is a unique experience to learn more about other cultures and countries together with students who do the same work for AIESEC but in a completely different country and reality. Next to that, it is really amazing to meet so many people and to build a great international network. You will have the opportunity to go to as many conferences as you like!
