WE LEAD
Conference and Youthspeak information
The conference is in a month's time!
As advised, we are keeping you in the loop with all relevant information about the conference, which we hope will leave you both changed and motivated to start your own journeys as global leaders!
As a start up to the WE LEAD conference, on the first day we'll be having a Youthspeak Forum, aimed to start us off with awareness of some of our local situations, which will help heighten your perspectives about the experiences that others go through in their own different environments. This understanding of different situations from around the world is vital for us to understand in order to lead ourselves to a better future, whilst also helping us reach our AIESEC targets by 2020.
Below kindly find information regarding the forum and the different workshops that will be hosted at that time, which you will need to apply for from the attached link.
See you in a months time!
17th March: Youthspeak Forum!

Youthspeak Forum Topics to be discussed
3 themes are education, entrepreneurship and sustainability
Entrepreneurship: According to the YouthSpeak Survey, 61% of millennials have plans to become an entrepreneur and another 8.7% already are. With 31.3% of respondents stating that they endeavour to become an entrepreneur in the next 5 years, a growing trend is recognized among the millennial generation that will greatly impact their career choices and how they view the role of employers. AIESEC is therefore adamant to help shape this trend and capitalize on it, since so many young people want to become an entrepreneur
Sustainability: Many facets of sustainability shall be explored- sustainable development, resilience, sustainable entrepreneurship, triple bottom Line, corporate social responsibility, and how they intersect, zooming in on some key issues, breaking it down by sector. Looking ahead, we will identify what changes are needed to make the transition from the Millennium Development Goals to the Sustainable Development Goals, and the role of youth across sectors in making the goals a reality. The relevance of this pillar is seen in the YouthSpeak Insights, whereby more than 90% of Millennials want to work for a company that cares about the world and generates a positive impact.
