AIESEC PAST

• 1930, Scandinavia Out of the shadows of the
  Great Depression, AIESEC began as an academic
  exchange run by and for students
• 1940s, Europe As the world recovered from war
  and destruction, AIESEC began to expand in scope
  and vision, determined to seek not only academic
  learning, but cultural understanding as well

• It is absolutely necessary to think of the
  interests of society. It is regrettable that most
  men of State view problems through the lenses of
  their political party and hardly see the
  international level. We are still students. It
  is time for education, not for politics...Many
  things must change and will change, but we need
  time. While waiting, we must be efficient in
  preparing for the future. It is our duty to learn
  and be involved in current problems.
• Stanislas Callens, 1946
