The AIESEC movement strives for four core leadership qualities: the ability to empower others, being solution-oriented, being a world citizen and self-awareness.

It is an awesome place to harness your speaking, convincing, team-work, leadership and many other skills.

Serious daytime with trainings and meetings but after dinner is when everything start going crazy in a good way.

“AIESEC is the one of the largest youth-run organizations in Tunisia. It counts more than 1200 members across the country,” said Rafa Ben Yakhlef, a former member of AIESEC in Tunisia, in an interview with Carthage Magazine. “We are present all over Tunisia through 11 local chapters, 4 of which are based in the Greater Tunis. AIESEC in Tunisia can be described as a leadership development hub for Tunisian youth. In 2019, AIESEC in Tunisia enabled about 3090 Young Tunisians to go on exchange abroad.”

 “Joining AIESEC was one of the smartest things I’ve ever done.” added Rafa.
