The day I was told I would be the Vice President of Exchange in Madrid of the world’s most important student association, I could not believe it. I did not even know where to start… Everything seemed like its own world. Sincerely I did not feel qualified. Nevertheless, little by little, and thanks to the cooperation and help from my colleagues, I started fitting in this great AIESEC puzzle.

My department started shaping up with the arrival of Krzysztof, a Polish student who came to do an internship in Madrid. One of the main aims of our association, if not the most important one, is precisely to promote the exchange of students all over the world.

This was only the first step to start walking. I just needed a push. Right now, I am actually in that race looking for both personal and professional development. Some day I will make it. This might sound pretentious, or even impossible, but believe me: AIESEC is able to provide with the necessary tools to achieve it.

Values as important as team work, leadership and cooperation are the characteristics that I may now say I am incorporating into my daily life. During the past few months I have realized that the interaction and communication with people in different professional scopes brings just the necessary material, say, the shoes one needs to start a race. The best thing about all this is that I still have not reached the end of the race. AIESEC is a continuous learning, always enriching, experience.

What we do in Exchange is provide the right tools to students for them to go abroad. There they will develop their leadership roles, team-work and global mindset values by doing an internship.
In addition, we facilitate students all over the world to come and do their internship in Spain. This is a great opportunity for both the development of personal and professional skills.
