OUR FOUNDATION
It all started after the...
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 strives for Peace & Fulfilment of Humankind's Potential.
