MY LEARNING diary

Name ________________________
AIESEC is an organization that provides you with unique opportunities to discover who you are, which your strenghts and weaknesses
are and which is the potential that lays on you, and further on, develop you knowledge, skills, attitudes and values to chose prosperity
for yourself and make a positive impact in society. However, you will ask yourself

But how do I know that by being involved in AIESEC have I gained anything?

This Learning Diary gives you a means to record your experiences and what you have gained from them, both within AIESEC and in
other areas of your life. It is intended to give you the control to tailor your training and development to meet your personal needs. So
not only will have you experienced all kinds of opportunities to develop, you will also have a tool where to capture those experiences
and learn from them.

However, the main aim of this Learning Diary is to encourage a learning environment where you to dig much deeper than simply your
individual goals.

You begin to understang your worldview, your values, and the worldview and values of others. AIESEC becomes a place not only for
the achivement of your goals (although this remains) but for a deep understanding of your potential and of the fulfillment of this
potential.

Under this perspective, learning transcends skill-building and you are truly becoming a Change Agent!
