The World Is Not Flat...

It's connected. Or connecting...

I finished reading The World is Flat by Thomas Friedman not too long ago. Along the duration of the book, I couldn't help but see how AIESEC is fitting into this flat world that Friedman describes - collaborative across borders giving people from all different parts of the wold access to the same tools and ideas that can truly promote understanding and cooperation. It's shocking now, working in Oman and collaborating people from Dubai all the way to New York.

AIESEC will truly be one of these catalysts of the flattening process that Friedman describes. It will only grow in importance as it grows, inspiring in the world a connecting process unlike any known before.
