ÂTRANSCRIPT
PROJECT INTRODUCTION As the world first populated country, though developing very fast in economic and business field, China still enjoy huge problems in education resulting in the imbalanced education resources distribution. Founded in 2008, Dare to Dream was initiated to improve the educational resources balance between rural areas and urban areas, aiming at providing opportunities for teenagers in rural middle schools to know the outer world better and be bold to chase their dreams, by hosting summer camps and winter camps with young people from all over the world. Dare to Dream is the largest national project of AIESEC in Mainland of China. In 2013-2014, 26 LCs hosted Dare to Dream summer camps or winter camps, with more than 840 trainees, impacting more than 9000 rural teenagers annually.

TRAINEE FEEDBACKS
“I knew that embarking on this trip will give me some knowledge about who i am, what am i capable of and how to improve myself, but I never knew that this was gonna be such an emo6onal and life-‐changing experience. We have an immense bond among us, EPs and OCs, but also with the kids we worked with, we stayed in touch with them ever since. Definetely this will bring me back to China once again, but more over, this opened doors for me throughout the whole world. I've made so many friends that it will take me about two years to visit them all properly. Program's name was Dare to Dream 3.0, and sure when I got back home, it all seemed like dream. Best 6me of my life.”
“I want to thank with all my heart AIESEC, Qingdao OC team for great experience, vivid emo6ons, homely and invi6ng atmosphere. They were responsible to their work and did their best to make us (i mean, EP) feel comfortable. I think, they are the best OC team of the best, lol. And a host family was very kind, hospitable and responsive. My lovely Chinese family.(one more BIG plus to OC team`s work)What else... I was pleasantly surprised by the aYtude of the Chinese to foreigners. They were very responsive, polite and tried to help as best they could. In the end, I would like to commend the work of buddies. They helped and supported me so much that I wasn't even nervous. OC team chosen amazing people for buddy work.”

“This is definitely the best abroad experience that ever happened in my life! I can tell that the AIESEC JLU OC team and the local volunteers really did a good job on arranging this project. And I think alloca6ng Chinese volunteers to be EP buddies is really a good way to let EPs get more used to Chinese culture. However, there are two points that I would like to suggest, first of all, is that I think the finalized 6meline should be officially informed, or to say that, could seble the finalized 6meline earlier. Although all EPs had received the recep6on booklet including 6meline before our arrival, but there were several changes in 6meline acer we arrived Beijing. Another point is that, I suggest to post the important message by email, individual message, or any place that we can easily check or be informed. I really don't recommend to post important message in the chatroom (ex: wechat chatroom) because the chatroom may be usually crowded and full of messages, it is possible for people to ignore or miss out important message, if people do not check every single message at any 6me.”

TRAINEE FEEDBACKS
“My AIESEC internship in Beijing was a life6me experience which I will be treasuring along with my memories and friendships. It was a unique opportunity to experience a completely different culture than my own, which was challenging and extremely rewarding. It also made me re-‐evaluate many things in my life. The hos6ng commibee was very welcoming, they devoted much of their 6me with us and I would like to men6on that on many occasions they spent money from their own budget in order to be by our side during these 7 weeks. They also devoted much 6me fulfilling the much necessary transla6on and interpreta6on tasks, I wholeheartedly thank them all. The accommoda6on was excellent, during the first five weeks we lived in an apartment far beber than the original expecta6on, then we all had to move into hos6ng families where we were all welcomed and taken care of beyond belief. Leaving them behind was sorrowful to say the least. I would also want to men6on that all of my nine flatmates were extraordinary, the combina6on of people and personali6es was unmatched, I feel like I have a member of my own family in each of those countries. My tasks regarding my job there were various due to the mul6faceted nature of the project. I came in touch with several people from various backgrounds in China and they contributed to me being a different and hopefully beber person. I will be missing the children in the NGO I spent 6me to, and every single individual I met during my 6me in this ins6tu6on. They gave me the mo6ve to try harder and develop a beber understanding for the weaker and less privileged members of our society, for this I will be always grateful. No doubt I lec a piece of me behind in China, and I thank both AIESEC and each person I met there that transformed this Summer in one of the most meaningful experiences of my life.”

GREEN POWER NOW
PROJECT INTRODUCTION Green Power Now was founded in 2008, aimed at providing global view for youth and raising their awareness about energy issues in China through AIESEC international exchange platform, by cooperating with schools, corporates, NGOs and bringing in international volunteers to offer courses related to green power and help the students become future leaders in Green field with strong social responsibility. The program aims to educate the future generation about the environment and empower them to become environmental and social leaders of their community. Green Power Now is one of the most impactful national project in AIESEC Mainland of China. In 2013-2014, we impacted 11 cities,14 LCs, 160 trainees, more than 100 high schools by providing green courses and campus green activities. What’s more, for the past several years we have involved Garnier, Disney, Momentum as Corporate Social Responsibility Partner, cooperated with Marinedream Foundation, Greennovate as national learning partner and organized annual Green Leadership Forum as the closing for the project for greater social impact and youth engagement.
Green Power Now is designed according to a sustainable and smart project business model to make sure its impact will last from generation to generation. AIESEC raised schools to the project, who received 6-week green project courses while these high school students are the potential future AIESECers. The international trainees are trained as school facilitators by national NGO partner for better professional knowledge on sustainability, and they will work as a group to co-create environmental protection courses to spread out issue based knowledge on sustainability. CSR partners sponsored the project and attended project events as judges or speakers, while AIESEC provided them with a CSR solution to establish better corporate branding and bigger social impact.

“I think what this project really provided is a period of experience. Before I parLcipated in the project team, I already knew some knowledge of environmental protecLon and energy saving, but why? Why should we take acLon since it’s so troublesome to turn off the light every Lme I le\ the room or pick the environmental friendly products? The trainers from AIESEC and Disney really inspired me and my classmate to take the first step trying to make some impact towards a sustainable future and helped me to recognize that doing a green project can be so much fun and exciLng!”

TRAINEE FEEDBACKS
“Live the experience in AIESEC allow me to increase my knowledge about overseas countries. The project gives me the opportunity to live an interna6onal experience and improve my English language. I have been in a host family that shows me a different culture and a different style life.

MORE INFORMATION
PROJECT INTRODUCTION The public welfare industry in China is developing faster than never before. Under this trend, there are so many NGOs and public welfare ins6tu6ons thronging day by day. Nonetheless, seldom do public know about these organiza6ons and the vulnerable groups. AIESEC as a global youth organiza6on, we have our uniqueness in contribu6ng to improving the current situa6on, and Special Care was ini6ated. By now there are 9 LCs run Special Care projects, mainly focusing on helping au6sm children, hearing impaired children and other physically and mentally disadvantaged children. By par6cipa6ng in daily works in such ins6tu6ons, trainees will gain more knowledge about these special groups, and they are supposed to host public events, such as fund raising or experience sharing ac6vi6es, to raise public awareness towards the special groups. Besides, we are also connec6on CSR resources to the ins6tu6ons in need. The long-‐term vision is that AIESEC could be a bridge between the ins6tu6ons and social resources, engaging trainees with professional knowledge, to make the society care more about the vulnerable groups and improve the professionalism of the ins6tu6ons.
