Telling powerful stories!

Ooops! It seems a lot of work in this side of the window! :)
I am back to the blog.. sorry, dear readers

Recently, I was thinking in how amazing are the stories of life that many members of the organisation are living worldwide. Let's see..

As part of my job, I am monitoring (almost invisible) all the the content in Internet that our members, partners, or other people that have heard about AIESEC, put online. And it is so interesting to receive information, most of them, blog's posts about feelings of our young people.

It is so nice to read how impactful is, for one student, to be elected as member of the world's largest student organisation. And see how his life has changed since he joined AIESEC, more focused in his life and his capacities.

To read the challenges, frustrations, funny moments and learning of all of our members in leadership positions. Leading offices in University campuses, in countries, even in regional offices. Having meetings with the most prominent figures of their universities, cities, even countries. Many of them not older than 25 years old.

Thousands and thousands of members in Exchange! sharing their cultural shocks, sharing pictures, starting to speak in other languages, feeling proud of their countries, of themselves, having friends in all the corners of the world!

and how amazing, is to learn how is the "life-after AIESEC", ex members that are in phase of "taking a break"...Some others starting their successful business, ideas, projects.. changingthe world! also those ones that are back, contributing and helping to the organization as Alumni (ex-members).

More than 32,000 people around the world are living somehow an incredible story of life. Stories of development, discovery, learning, friendship...

and in that moment is when I say... DAMN!
why AIESEC cannot be more visible to so many young people that need this incredible opportunity?, why we are not able to spread the magic of this organization? Why we cannot dream in being the number one? Should AIESEC being the best kept secret in the University campuses, in the online channels?

and it is also when I feel grateful again... because I think, this year managing the Communications in AIESEC is an incredible opportunity to make this dream come true...

again.. another powerful story to tell! :)


P.S. I think I have an idea! :P
