AIESEC——國際經(jīng)濟(jì)商學(xué)學(xué)生協(xié)會(huì)，是由全球95個(gè)國家和地區(qū)近900所大學(xué)近30000名學(xué)生組成的全球的青年組織，也是在聯(lián)合國正式注冊(cè)的全球第三大非政府間國際合作機(jī)制。自1948年成立以來，AIESEC始終致力于讓年輕人發(fā)現(xiàn)和發(fā)展他們的潛能，發(fā)掘其領(lǐng)導(dǎo)才能，并最終成為全球大學(xué)生發(fā)展自我、展現(xiàn)自我的最廣闊的平臺(tái)與空間。在AIESEC內(nèi)部每年舉辦約350場(chǎng)國際會(huì)議，提供4000個(gè)系統(tǒng)內(nèi)國際工作機(jī)會(huì)和5000個(gè)以上的管理職位，并通過舉辦國際實(shí)習(xí)生交換項(xiàng)目、前往其他國家AIESEC學(xué)習(xí)交流（CEED項(xiàng)目）、與商業(yè)機(jī)構(gòu)交流訪問等形式來為年輕人提供多種多樣的能力提升機(jī)會(huì)。
中國于2002年正式成為AIESEC會(huì)員國，北京大學(xué)AIESEC分會(huì)是其創(chuàng)始成員之一，自成立以來，每年都有數(shù)十名不同專業(yè)不同年級(jí)的成員通過AIESEC實(shí)習(xí)項(xiàng)目前往德國、芬蘭、丹麥、波蘭、香港、日本、印度和俄羅斯等國家或地區(qū)的企業(yè)或機(jī)構(gòu)參與經(jīng)管、技術(shù)、教育或社會(huì)發(fā)展類實(shí)習(xí)，以及參與國際交流活動(dòng)等。
以下是北京大學(xué)AIESEC分會(huì)的一名成員寫的一篇記錄其在國外實(shí)習(xí)過程中的經(jīng)歷和見聞的文章。
Two months have passed since my -reluctant coming back from the unforgettable -experience in Russia, a country I never thought of going to. Exotic and elegant architectures in St.Petersburg; the Metro of Moscow—with -elegant designs, 1）lavish and profuse use of -marble, 2）mosaics and sculptures; addictive 3）Vodka; the4） Neva river, hardly navigable due to its freezing over in winter; and, of course, those beautiful Russian girls as well, make me love this country. All these could not happen if AIESEC were not a part of my life.
It was an opportunity provided by the 5）Cultural Envoy for Exchange Development （CEED） to serve on the local committee of AIESEC, in the city of 6）Izhevsk. The city is located in the mid-west of Russia, 1 hour fight from Moscow.
As a CEEDer, my main role was to help the local AIESEC committee to promote an “East Asia （China & Japan） Program” in the local 7）Chamber of Commerce, and to make a presentation at an official dinner at the Chamber. The “East Asia Program” is “… taking students from China and Japan to local companies in the city of Izhevsk, Russia, to improve 8）bilateral trade and understanding” The program needed to be initiated by me. Later, about 10 East-Asian students will go to this ancient and newly opened city. I spent 2 days preparing for my presentation. I needed to persuade the bosses of local companies to provide students from China and Japan with internships in their company. The results went beyond my expectations. 6 companies offered to take 12 interns from China and Japan, and 3 more indicated that they would take on interns, if they could find qualified students.
Apart from the main job, let me tell you about the People first. The city, Izhevsk, was an army-industry center during the 9）Soviet era, and is the hometown of the famous automatic rifle, the 10）AK-47. As such, the city is not modern and urbanized, and foreigners were not allowed to visit. It was completely open to foreigners just 3 or 4 years ago. Once I left the airport, I could feel how everyone in the shuttle bus was staring at me—a strange boy with an Asian look. It bothered me at first, but gra-dually I got used to it, since usually they mean no harm.
Unsophisticated and happy Old Russian lady
I lived in an local home （provided by the AIESEC）, which give me a precious opportunity to experience the real Russian Culture and the Russian people. It was the home of an ordinary, typical Russian family, a small flat housing 5 people.
There was some sort of a party or gathering, practically every-day—either with local members of the AIESEC, or with other hospitable people. The Russians are really nice people, I stayed there for just 3 weeks, but when I was leaving I could see this old lady, almost crying. She told me that she would come to China to see me, as I got on the train leaving for St.Petersburg. Just 3 weeks, just a few times of being together, and she was already treating me like her own child.
What is China
I sometimes helped Holger and Guo Na （two other trainees） when they were doing cultural presentations in schools. Once, we went to No.72 School. The school administration had prepared a lot for us—a folk music show and traditional dances. After all of these, I made my presentation, beginning with the question: “When it comes to China, what 11）pops in your mind? 12）Kung Fu? Mao Zedong? One-child policy?”. I'd heard these things about China every time I asked. To them, China seems so far away and mysterious. Once, a Chinese trainee told me a story while we were on the bus that a Russian guy asked him if we have buses in Beijing. It was funny, but it made me think about China communicating its own image to the outside world. Things should be more open in China, both when it comes to the environment and the people. More opportunities should be provided to foreigners coming to China, to present them with the real China. Meanwhile, more Chinese should visit other countries. And, what's more crucial, we should be willing to communicate with local people, and of course, respect local culture.
Just a start
We have always thought of China as a huge country. But once you go out of it, you find China is just part of the amazing world, with so many other interesting cultures and people to experience and learn. Russia is just my start at AIESEC, and the first stop in my global experience. As one of the AIESEC girls wrote on her MSN “It is cool to be a Global Citizen!”; and, as what 13）Louis Armstrong sang, “What a wonderful world”. I will continue my exciting 14）affi-liation with AIESEC. What we are doing is encouraging more and more people to start their first international experience and dreams with the help of AIESEC.
