Message from MCP Dear Applicant, I cannot believe that this time of year has come… That I am actually working towards getting a successor to carry the torch on and begin the generation of succession and growth in AIESEC in Seychelles. It was only yesterday that I was researching about this country, applying to start AIESEC here, working towards getting my team, arriving for the first time in to the country, representing AIESEC in and out of Seychelles, and actually began setting up. And now, it is 6months down the line! 6months of intense challenges, growth, development, thinking outside the box, working with different people, adjusting to culture and so much more. I started AIESEC in a country because I wanted to do something that was truly bigger than me. We have worked tirelessly over the last 6months to set a working foundation so as to not only make history… but to begin a legacy. Although there is half a term to go, I open this application today in honour of starting a generation of AIESECers in this beautiful island nation. As an applicant, I urge you to use this application as a means to not only discover the way forward for an entity, but to also discover yourself. I look forward to passing the torch to you and working with you to ensure AIESEC in Seychelles grows and develops over the next term and the years to come. Let us make history, together. All the best.
