“I can now count to 10 in about 11 different languages. In Russian, I can

count to 40. I can say "How are you?", and reply, in about 14 different

languages.

And I have my EP family, from America, Egypt, Russia, and India. My

favourite AIESEC moment, was when my EP family organised a surprise

for my birthday - brought a cake to my room, and I ate a cake for the

first time without any forks, napkins, or plates. That night, I had "Happy

Birthday" sang to me in 11 different languages. Nothing, can buy that

experience. Nothing will ever replace that experience. I left for Europe

alone, and I returned with a family and friends and languages and

stories from all over the world. And it was all thanks to AIESEC.”

“ I worked in Arts Education in the Education department of Himalaya Museum in

China. This involved organizing and participating in workshops with children

between ages 9-12. The workshops were focused on educating and promoting

potential young artists. I was motivated to go on a second exchange because I

saw an AIESEC exchange as the ideal vehicle to develop myself, connect with

locals in a given destination in a meaningful manner. My 2nd exchange to

Bulgaria was a good experience. It was an adventure into a totally different

environment. My program involved teaching school children from high school

years about the Millennium Development Goals.”

Exchange Participant: Swapnil Mindhe

First Exchange: Explore China, Mainland of China
