Alumni Congress Agenda

60 Years of Activating Leadership - International Congress 2008

A space for collective intelligence on sustainable development

The Call

O Congresso Internacional 2008 reunirá mais de 650 membros da AIESEC de mais de 100 países e territórios, e para a 60ª celebração do aniversário iremos reunir aproximadamente 300 alumni da AIESEC de diferentes gerações, diversos parceiros (corporações, governamentais e ONGs), assim como representantes de outras organizações jovens.

Nós iremos criar um ambiente que proporcionará uma conexão real entre esses indivíduos com o objetivo de:

· Facilitar o intercâmbio de idéias para a liderança de um futuro sustentável

· Propiciar o aprendizado entre as gerações

· Encorajar a conexão entre alumni, membros, parceiros da AIESEC e outras organizações jovens para criar um impacto coletivo.

· Honrar os 60 anos da AIESEC ativando liderança jovem.

· Aproveitar a companhia de cada um.

Agenda

Desenho e entrega:: A agenda foi desenvolvida e entregue a partir da experiências dos experts em liderança, Toke Møler (fundador da Art of Hosting) e David Cooperrider (fundador da Appreciative Inquiry) em co-criação com os membros do corpo de Alumni, AIESEC International, AIESEC no Brasil, assim como o Grupo de Supervisores da AIESEC Internacional.

This is not for spectators ... please come ready to:

· Fully engage in a participative process as both a learner and contributor

· Keep striving to be on the edge of your own learning and challenge your own assumptions

· Enter into relationships that support co-learning and co-creation

· Take responsibility for the things you care about

· Stay all three days - this is the best forum to make connections that matter, and

Timings: Almost the entire agenda for alumni delegates is actually part of IC 2008, which gives alumni the unique opportunity to experience another International Congress!

Please note that the timings and speakers given are provisional. Final timings and a full speakers list will only be published a few weeks before the actual event.

Co-hosting Conversations

Toke Møller opens the space for all participants to connect and speak about the questions that really matter to them as individuals and as AIESEC network.

Some of the questions are brought into the process from the purpose stated above, but every individual is supported to engage with others around their own ideas, initiatives, passions, or questions.

Output from these conversations is taken in a structured and collaborative way in order to feed into the process of the event and the future of the AIESEC alumni network and its connections with AIESEC, as well as to reflect the thoughts and ideas participants have around their own leadership for a sustainable world.
