In its first year, there’s already a lot in store for you in Youth Leadership Week. YouthSpeak: Ateneo kicks off the start of the week on April 25 from 5-8 PM at the Escaler Hall in Ateneo. YouthSpeak: Ateneo is a Youth Business Forum featuring personalities who want to inspire the youth to take that one step further to maximizing their potential in the art of trade beyond profit making. There will also be booths right outside the venue during the whole afternoon featuring various social enterprises. Handmade crafts, healthy food and more will be featured and sold by participating booths such as Human Nature, Bayani Brew, Habi Footwear and more.
On the 27th, 3 AIESEC alumni in the field take the stage from 5-7 PM during the AIESEC for the Philippines forum to be held at the SEC C Lecture Hall. The forum, in line with the upcoming elections, aims to facilitate an active dialogue between established players in national and international leadership, and Ateneans to share insights regarding the kinds of leaders that we want to have.
On the 29th, in its first year as well, AIESEC in Ateneo will be conducting the Interscholastic Youth Leaders Initiative to be participated in by high school student leaders from around the metro. IYLI, is a whole-day youth leadership conference that aims to instill the importance of stepping up and taking the lead as the youth today and the leaders of tomorrow.
