What is AIESEC (Association Internationale des Étudiants en Sciences Économiques et Commerciales)?
AIESEC is an international platform for young people to explore and develop their leadership potential. AIESEC can be described in one word i.e OPPORTUNITY. It is all about cultural exchange and AIESEC is the only platform for people to explore various cultures at such a young age.The Ultimate: the internship
Whether it is a summer internship or as part of your university course, you can now discover like many other students, the growing benefits and opportunities of undertaking an internship in Chandigarh. The feelings and motivations the members of AIESEC Chandigarh have cannot be compared to others.
An international internship is not just a great opportunity to discover new cultures and experience a different side of life; you get to learn about how to work in an international environment and in the process learn a wide range of lifelong skills and competences. You will expand and deepen your knowledge and understand of the world´s people and its societies.

The Intern House
Living among different people from different country is a golden opportunity to know about other languages, way of life and habits of a foreigner. You are never left out because team leaders always take care of you whenever you face any problems.

Summer Regional conference- Shimla (The first of its kind)
It gives you the opportunity to meet young leaders. You get to know about their experience in AIESEC and ultimately make you dream. If they have reached so far at such a young age, why can’t you? Impossible is nothing. At the end of conference, your perspectives about life changes.
Nights are meant for party people? During a conference, yes!! The dancing, skolling (basically a beer competition) is just amazing after attending sessions all day long.

Cultural lunch
It is an event bringing together people from different nationalities by preparing food eaten in their country and dressed in their respective national clothes hence there is exchange of culture.

We cannot forget the fun part ;)
The fun starts in the evening. Arabic infusion (sheesha (hooka) place) is a famous spot for interns. They go there to relax after a hard day. You say food, Chandigarh people say BUTTER CHICKEN. This is one of the amazing dish you will not miss during your internship.

ReplyDeleteI won't say i did not face problems. Problems are found everywhere. My biggest problem was the heat. Im not used to such a climate. Living in a tropical country, im used to the sun, but no such heat, like above 38 degrees at time. But, i tried to adapt myself afterwards. Secondly, i am used to luxuries and the intern house was beyond my expectation. However, I forgot i was on an internship and that I had to cope with each and everything. It took me only 2 days to get adapted to the house. Infact, i started loving to stay there. I was surrounded by awesome people, and at a point of time, luxuries failed infront of relationship. Thirdly, another main prob for me for food. IM NOT USED TO SPICY FOOD!! But as i said earlier, i was surrounded with awesome people and they hepled me with food stuffs. A big thanks goes to Akshay Sharma who showed me where to get proper food for me :)
