African YES-A global learning environment

The African Young Entrepreneurs program is developed to enhance Entrepreneurial traits, skills and knowledge to the participants through influential fun learning. In AIESEC we believe that in order to create a suitable for learning environment,the following elements should be in place;

1.Team experiences- Two dimensional learning i.e learning from each other. Thats why every one is a student and teacher at the same time.

2.Mentorship- Throughout the training Participants will hear and learn from successful business entrepreneurs, authors and researchers who will share their experiences and winning strategies in business.An example is Julius Apegu, a leading author and columnist with the Daily Monitor on Entrepreneurship and personal finance,who shared his story of entrepreneurship and lessons learnt (Please read his book;How to create a sustainable business and share the lessons with the rest on this blog).

3. Conferences and seminars- Through the seminars participants will learn the skills that every successful entrepreneur should have.

4.Virtual spaces- A fitting example is this blog you are reading. Its the only we can share our learning experiences with other people who are not part of the training. This blog will also be a good tool for personal reflection for all the participants of the project.

5.Learning circles-These will provide an opportunity for every one to discuss and interesting topic on entrepreneurship.

6.Personal reflections- Imagine if you take off some time in a quiet place and ask yourself questions like, what did i learn today, if you had to do something better today how best will you have done? This is a very important tool of learning because you will do a self assessment and know what you learn everyday.

These 6 elements are all incorporated in the YES Training and we believe that our participants will learn and have fun at the same time.
