Force for Good Pioneers Forum Webinar

‘Business as usual is no longer enough’

A special invitation to AIESEC members and alumni

Please register to attend our debut Force for Good Pioneers Webinar ‘Business as usual is no longer enough’ on 9th June at 4pm London time.

The general issues identified by the Force for Good Pioneers Forum are discussed here.

Pascal Mittermaier, Head of Sustainability at Lend Lease, will be presenting the challenges behind their ground-breaking project - the urban regeneration of Elephant and Castle. How is the vision for a green and sustainable urban-scape implemented? How do we make the future happen now?

The Elephant & Castle project is one of the 17 Clinton Climate Initiative flagship projects, offering critical transformational opportunities in terms of urban innovation to achieve zero carbon, the generation of clean energy, waste management, water management etc. It superbly demonstrates and tests the agenda we are co-creating.

Key Learnings of this session include:

  • Developing holistic solutions - thinking together across boundaries

  • Deeply engaging communities and designing and creating with them in order to achieve significant transformation

  • Inside knowledge on cutting edge low carbon futures, urban redesign and regeneration, clean energy, water and waste management.

Should you have any questions please contact Luisa (Lu...@tomorrowscompany.com).

GCP of the Weekrong>

 

This week we are showcasing the practice of creatively exploring the possibilities for making larger impact. This case is from AIESEC in Pakistan where they wanted to unleash OGX performance beyond its boundaries at the start of the term. These are the steps MC followed:

1) Identified major cycles using information on DAAL Files & did university research - which universities have students free and when;
2) Made on cycle OGX team and one Adhoc OGX team in every LC. Adhoc teams had to carry out their cycle independently and they usually operate in universities we are not generally operating in. These teams can be used for new things that come up during the term which havent been planned before. Adhoc people can match with countries who don't necessary run ICX on cycles, Like Sri Lanka became a big partner for Pakistan. The Cycle people are suppose to deliver on the main cycles.

This way you can carry out OGX throughout the year, rather than being dependent on cycles. Besides that, MC launched an Exchange Scholarship Fund. Due very good performance in OGX department, MC could pitch to their national board the idea of a scholarship. This fund was used to award best performing members some amount which they can use to fund half of their exchange. Enjoy and all the best :)

If you have more questions about this case, please approach Affan Javed (af...@aiesec.pk). If you have a GCP worth spreading or want to see the case on a particular topic, email Katya: ekate...@ai.aiesec.org

X+L

The global supporting team of X+L has initiated a global survey about X+L experiences. We got so far 925 responses from people who lived both experiences, and it has a very good regional and experience representation.

What we find exciting from the analysis of the survey? 92% of the responses said they are satisfied with their leadership experience, and 82% of them said they are satisfied with their exchange experience. And 98% claims that they think dual experience is better than just exchange or just leadership! Top reasons being: enlarging my world view and gaining valuable cultural and business perspectives; getting better understanding of myself and the field I want to contribute in the future; achieving complete development of my competencies.

What are you waiting for? Going for dual experience!
