Newies and Issue Based eXPeriences

In the last few weeks I have been focusing on supporting the LCs recruitments and aligning their efforst to be able to provide a platform for the Issue Based eXPeriences.

The Issue Based eXPeriences is a new set of opportunities that we are giving to AIESECers to develop themselves

It is based on a simple concept:

1. There are critical aspects for each community to develop in a sustainable way
2. There are strategies that focus on positively impacting those critical aspects
3. AIESEC XP can be shaped to happen around this strategies and therefore provide a leadership able to create a postive impact on society

Which advantages are we seeing?

1. Alignment between Vision, Role, CW and Execution of AIESEC
2. Membership motivation
3. More clear and exciting JDs
4. Easier to position AIESEC among stakeholders

Challenges

1. Attitude towards change from oldies - Solved! :)
2. LC Structures - Finally we are moving towards projects! No + Focus on Activities! :)
3. Alignment with LC Plans - Done!
4. Understanding the importance of Core Work (AIESEC XP) and the Supporting Systems (PD, X, F, IS...) - Still in process
5. Increasing relevance of Coaching, Project Management and Mentorship - At CASGO!

Honestly, I see a lot of opportunties for AIESEC Central America South. After visiting all the LCs and having the chance to chat with the newies, finding out their passions and the vision of AIESEC they already have and I feel very confident about what happened this year.

Something big is happening and I am sure the elected MC will have some good time in a few months from now when the newies start delivering results :)
