More than 200 students  from different Italian universities are meeting today at  Roma Tre University  for a day of dialogue  and interaction  with organizations and enterprises, organized by AIESEC Italy. Present in over 110 countries and territories and with over 60,000 members, AIESEC is the world’s largest student-run organization. Since its foundation  in 1948 AIESEC  has been focused on  providing a platform for youth leadership development operating in favor of international mobility with the aim of bringing peace and favoring the full development of human potential.

AIESEC Connection Day will feature roundtables and workshops on the following themes: environmental and food sustainability, education and future international scenarios.

The event is an opportunity to better know values and actions of Italian enterprises and organizations on social issues and  to confront with them , making innovative proposals. Among the enterprises and organizations that will be present at the event: CESVI, KPMG, Legambiente, PwC, FAI, Unicredit, Vita, GVST Event Management, Link 2007, Bancaetica and Giovani nel Mondo.

AIESEC Connection Day is the most important event of Employer Branding and  Talent Attraction that AIESEC Italy offers to enterprises.

The event is part of Youth Change, a national initiative of AIESEC Italy that aims to bring a change in society through young people. The initiative is based on AIESEC’s core work: international mobility. 230 international volunteers  will carry out projects in more than 80 schools and  in 16 Italian  Universities, involving more than 15000 students.

The aim of Youth Change is to confront  on the same issues that the event in Rome will cover, creating a collection of experiences that can serve as an example for the enterprising world and that constitute a path of deep training both for AIESEC members and for the students that will take part to the project.

The initiative also aims to be a container of innovative ideas to integrate students, universities and enterprises on the same  issues that will be explored during AIESEC Connection Day: environmental and food sustainability, education and future international scenarios.
