What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life. Leo Buscaglia


Beginning of the year... new challenges and new successes. I feel the biggest challenge is up to a lot of us, to make decisions. To choose our next step, to make choice as we all want to have this right. Also, there is another challenge ahead of us, to take all the inspiration, energy and knowledge we have, and to make the most for our successors, and for AIESEC.

I know the decisions are not easy to make, but that’s what makes the difference... Keep up the spirit and energy and take care in New Year! I wish you all a lot of positive vibrations!

1. AIESEC Serbia MCVP Applications open


Dear candidate,

Welcome and congratulations for making a step forward in your personal and professional development. Congratulations for being aware of the contribution you can make to the global, national and local development of AIESEC by being a member of the Member Committee in AIESEC Serbia.
This year AIESEC in Serbia went through organizational alignment to AIESEC 2010 and Balance Score Card implementation. It is also a year of capacity building in terms of knowledge and education, especially in our members’ understanding of our organization, our system and processes we use in everyday work. This is also a year of involvement of members from AIESEC Serbia in global and GN teams (Global Communication Crew, People Development Unit, E-Drive team). In this year at IPM in Egypt there will be two candidates from Serbia applying for AIESEC International. In near future we are honored to have opportunity to welcome you in Serbia at EuroXpro 2007.
The year ahead of us shall be a step forward in taking AIESEC Serbia into the company of leading AIESEC countries in our global network; a step forward from a country with heaps of potential to the country that is a leading driver of growth in the region; a step forward to AIESEC playing an crucial role in development of youth in Serbia.
This is the year where we shall focus on making possible the sustainable results oriented organization with constant focus on growth. It is also a year for making Strategy everyone’s every day job. It is a year of utilizing the potential AIESEC Serbia has.
We know that the challenge is big.
We know that expectations are high.
But if we didn’t know that you are able to meet the expectations and that you enjoy challenges, we wouldn’t be mentioning it at all.

Good luck,
Your MC 2006-07

2. X revolution

The trend that we are facing last 5 years in terms of X numbers is stagnation. We find that the main reason is that the real focus at this and real support from national level were never really done. So from the beginning of this year we will run the X revolution champagne 2007 with one clear goal – Growth in X numbers! That doesn’t mean that we will forget everything else… that just means that we will keep in mind that one part of AIESEC xp is X and that we all want to make as many experiences as possible!

So here are the numbers from last years

- 2002 - 54
- 2003 - 52
- 2004 - 44
- 2005 - 55
- 2006 - 53
