AIESEC is a youth-run organization that develops leadership skills in youths through cross-cultural exchanges. It is located in over 110+ countries and has been set up after the second world war, in 1948. AIESEC believes that through cross-cultural exchanges, young people truly learn about the different cultures in the world. This develops cultural understanding and thereby respect towards other cultures in the world. By these visions, AIESEC tries to achieve peace and fulfillment of humankind’s potential.

AIESEC in Wageningen is one of the 11 committees in the Netherlands. We’re a group of students wanting to help you with your personal development by facilitating exchanges. The exchanges AIESEC offers are voluntary projects of 6-8 weeks, with a standard price of €349,- including accommodation. Each project is linked to one of the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN. Therefore the goal behind a project can be to improve healthcare, sustainability or peace or to reduce poverty. Before, during and after the project we will guide you personally and make sure everything runs smoothly.
