There’s a lot to know about AIESEC to become an AIESECer. One crucial aspect is AIESEC Values. So, what are AIESEC Values? AIESEC Values are the principles that guide the daily life of AIESECers in developing the leadership potential of young people. These values are coupled with behaviors that align with these values and help in making decisions that have a positive impact on the world. We can remember AIESEC Values with the acronym SELADA, which might sound like a vegetable, but actually stands for: Striving for Excellence, Enjoying Participants, Living Diversity, Activating Leadership, Demonstrating Integrity, and Acting Sustainably. Let’s dive deeper!
1. Striving for Excellence
This value means that we are always ambitious in setting our goals and working hard to achieve them. It teaches us to always have high aspirations and to put in our best effort to reach these goals. When we have a goal, we know the direction we want to take in the future.
2. Enjoying Participants
In every event or agenda, it is important to be present and enjoy participating. We believe that every individual can contribute and create an open and enthusiastic environment for everyone. This way, we can meet many people and build connections together.
3. Living Diversity
AIESEC is a global organization with members from all over the world, who bring various cultures, races, languages, and customs. We believe that interacting with these differences is key to achieving peace among nations and allowing everyone to stand on an equal footing. In our environment, we embrace diversity as a complement to one another.
4. Activating Leadership
This value focuses on developing leadership qualities in our members by giving them the space to bring their best selves and become role models who inspire others. We lead by example and inspire leadership through actions and results.
5. Demonstrating Integrity
This principle is about staying true to our essence, remaining consistent, and being transparent about the decisions we make. We must maintain clear communication and commitment to what we do or what we have done. Through clear communication, we stay connected and earn the trust of others.
6. Acting Sustainably
As a modern organization, this value means that all decisions we make must have a positive impact on society and ensure long-term sustainability. Future generations should continue to benefit from and follow the paths set by previous generations.
So, that’s all about AIESEC Values that we can learn and apply in our daily lives as AIESECers. If you are a new AIESEC member, you need to know these because they will be important throughout your selection process and your AIESEC journey. When you join AIESEC In UNS, you’ll be stepping into a community that values excellence, integrity, diversity, sustainability, and empowerment. These aren’t just words for us—they’re the guiding principles that shape our actions and drive our mission.
By living out these values, you’ll not only grow your leadership skills but also be part of a global movement working towards positive change. If you’re ready to make a difference and develop as a leader, AIESEC is the right choice for you!
