THE AIESEC LEGACY AND YOUTHS OF TODAY

It is a well known fact that AIESEC remains the worlds biggest,largest and dynamically active youth organization in the world , catering to the teemless youths and recent graduates the world over and engages them in different activities that cut across life , many alumni's talk about  their days when they actively held talks with captains of industries and other stake holders. It is also of a fact that we have the highest open ACS (Active Communication System) site in the World!! according to TATA Global Service a leading consulting firm we send close to 5000 mails daily and recieve twice that number no wonder the UN, EU and other top global industries recognize our sway but that is not enough!!! as active and vibrant agents we need to continue the legacy set down by our founding fathers we need to continue our drive for youth excellence, we all have a global mandate to engage youths by 2015 and no other time can we achieve this than now.

In Nigeria today we here discussions of the high rate of unemployment of youths many argue that the rate of "quacks" churned out of the system is appalling, but i beg to disagree, now how can we curb this trend? simple we need to aggressively engage youths by combining forces to create awareness of our organization and its mission ,the global internship programme alone provides boundless opportunities one which many other countries have taken advantage of we need to repackage the internship opportunities and open the public's eyes to our way of networking, our virtual platform has to be stronger now than ever our mandate more effective and to be amongst the first choice partners for professional youths we need to make a statement.
Then again we need to offer quality exchanges and lastly they way we handle our projects must change with a view of sustainable future we are gradually becoming the youths voice but how can we be known if we remain in the shadows? its high time we do lots of awareness campaigns and micro-market and outsource our programmes to youths that way we can really affect lives lets join hands and continue the legacy on this Worlds Youth Day and for the many days in the future.
