“Hello ! My name is Əli and I’ve been an AIESEC member for almost one year now! It’s very nice to meet you! I am the main character of the autumn promotion campaign and I am here to tell you my story and answer your questions!
So, today I’ll begin to tell you what is AIESEC all about, how I became a member and what happened during all the time I’ve been there.
Last year I entered university and I didn’t know what to do except studyi
ng. I wanted to see something new, and bring new challenges into my life, so that I can make more of my student life.
But I had no concrete idea of how to do this things, I was sad and lonely. However, one day I saw AIESEC poster in my university, just like you have posters in your universities now. I had many questions in my head (“AIESEC?” “Leadership?” “Development?” “Internships abroad?” “Maybe that’s what I was looking for?”). I went to the web-site and filled the application form.
But that time I still didn’t know what AIESEC is all about yet. After group and personal interviews we had trainings in Baku and after a month we went to a conference in Quba. During those 3 days there I met new friends who are my best friends at the moment! We had trainings about leadership, self-improvement, communication, games, roll-calls, AIESEC dances and many-many activities that gave me new skills and new view to the world.
So this is how I became a member of the biggest student-run organisation in the world with over 60.000 members around the world and 110 countries! At that moment I thought: “yes, man, you did it! new doors are open to you and this is just a beginning to your AIESEC experience.”
Comment to this post or on my Facebook page if you want to know more about how I joined AIESEC and the first few weeks, I’ll be back with part 2, which is even more exciting!”
Friends, leadership, internships abroad – GET THEM ALL!
As you probably saw on our Facebook page or in our e-mails, this weekend we were in the a2students International Education Fair, organized by Akare.
We met there some of you and talked about the benefits you can take advantage of as an AIESEC member, how to apply and we shared stories from exchange and projects developed in the last year.
For those of you who were not there, we summarize:
- the application form for becoming a member is open here: http://aiesec.az/en/students/join-us/ until 15th of October
- our membership is free, including specialized preparation (on areas like Human R
esources or Communication), trainings, involvement in international projects, conferences, etc.
- we answer to any questions on our Facebook page or here: azerbaijan@aiesec.net
- we provided internships abroad for over 40 students in the last year, and we will continue to do so.
We’ll be back tomorrow with a post about our mysterious yet central character of the autumn. Stay tuned!
It’s up to you to change your life! We’re here!
On 15th of September, two significant things took place regarding AIESEC:
1. we closed the applications for the exchange program – we congratulate all the applicants and we’re looking forward to publish their “exchange stories”.
2. we opened the applications for AIESEC members
If you’re still confused about the difference between the two of them, please read this post: http://aiesecazerbaijan.wordpress.com/2011/08/30/current-types-of-recruitment-in-aiesec-baku/
We suggest you to stay tuned to the blog and to our Facebook page [AIESEC in Azerbaijan] for updates – such as events we are organizing or participating in – and also look for us in universities, we’re already on our way to be all over the place!
Allow us to also remind you our e-mail address in case you have any questions, suggestions or requests: azerbaijan@aiesec.net .
Friends, leadership, internships abroad – get them all!
I decided to go to internship after presentation in AIESEC about internships. I wanted to go only to Eastern Europe: to Poland or to Romania. Finally I was selected for internship in Romania-“gROw” project (nationwide youth development program) as trainee. When I was in Baku I even didn’t understand the importance of this project. 
But everything changed when I came to Romania to “Train the Trainers” Conference…I really got at this conference how huge is my responsibility because the main role of this project is to make changes in teenagers…and we – trainers have to do it through our trainings. It was a bit hard for me because I have never delivered trainings before but I’ve learnt how to deliver trainings during the conference. We had professional trainers who trained us and shared their experience with us. This conference was like a dream for me because here I met people all over the world, it was awesome to communicate with them. All participants of the conference were interns for “gROw” project. Most of them were AIESECers and it was amazing to have the same values, the same dances with people from all parts of the world…We had two parties there and now I can definitely say that these parties were the best parties in my life 
After conference we went back to Constanta (city where I was trainer).We had great time there..I was trainer for 11th grade and I enjoyed all sessions with our participants. It was life-changing experience for me… I really developed myself and I saw how we changed them – our participants..I can’t even express my feelings that I felt when they thanked me for everything and we promised that we would never forget each other.
I can’t say that I had only nice days in Romania but now when I’m remembering them it doesn’t seem so bad as it was it’s even funny now For example I spent one night in the same apartment with b
ig dog (I’m afraid of dogs so it was awful moment for me), I was freezing all the time in Predeal (the city where conference was held) because the summer in this city was like the winter in Baku I didn’t take warm clothes with me to Romania. Because of weight of my suitcase (it was too big) I fell down in metro in Bucharest, my leg was between the platform and train and so on.. But now I think without all these “bad situations” my internship wouldn’t be so interesting
Now I have friends almost in all parts of the world and this is amazing feeling for me ☺
I’m missing Romania, Constanta, Conference days, international trainers, ”gROw” participants …everything…
… and I’m really happy that I had all of it!
My name is Zaur. I am a second year student in Azerbaijan State Economic University and I am currently the Vice president on Talent Management in AIESEC Baku.
This summer I went in exchange to Serbia. I knew something about this country before visiting it, but most of the stuff that I heard from my friends and media was negative. There is a stereotype about Serbia, that peole there hate muslims, they are racist etc. I can tell already you that this is just not true!
People on the streets are very polite and always ready to help. I did not see any skinhead even I always was walking in the city at night. Belgrade is very safe city. So in first days I broke all the stereotypes in my mind about Serbia. I met a lot of different people from all over the world .Lived in one house with 8 people from different countries , gained a lot of friends and established good network.
About my internship, I was part of a project called “Live without borders”, we worked wi
th gypsy children that are a bit isolated from society. We tried to help them to integrate them to society , tried to show them how big the world is. And I think we did it. I did presentations and prepared some workshops about environment and ecological problems. Also I did a country presentation. Most of all, they liked the advertisement video of Azerbaijan that goes on CNN with the flying carpet. They were asking me “Do you really have flying carpets in Azerbaijan?” and I told them that even I came to Serbia on a carpet. They were so motivated to visit Azerbaijan. I liked the project, it was fun.
Another thing that you need to know about Serbia is that it is known in the world as one of the most craziests, because of their parties and other crazy fun stuff. I just can remember 2 or 3 nights when I slept in Serbia, all the other times we were just partying till the morning and meeting sunrise in the city. I did so many crazy stuff with my friends from Hungary, Tunisia, Egypt, Russia, Romania , Turkey and of course Serbia, that I can not write all of it (and honestly I’m too shy to write about some of them).
I met a lot of people from AIESEC Serbia, gained a lot of skills from them. The VicePresident Talent Management of LC Alfa shared his experience with me and I learned a lot of useful things from him about HR and it really helps me now.
Maybe I am not good writer and can not transmit all the feelings and fun that I had during my internship in Serbia. But I can promise you that it was for sure the best summer in my life!!
