Global Host

Global Host is a program launched by AIESEC that allows our partners, delegates, parents, and all interested individuals to host international students in their home during AIESEC projects and professional internships (lasting 5 to 8 weeks).

What is the goal of the project?

The goal of this project is to provide international students with a warm and pleasant stay, where they will experience our culture and famous hospitality first-hand. To those who join, we open the doors to the international community. Become a host and discover the world through daily moments, make friendships that last for years, and view your daily life in a completely new way, right from your home.

Why become part of this program?

Being a host to international students is your opportunity to experience the world without leaving your city. Discover how this experience helps you make lifelong friends, learn about new cultures first-hand, and bring real, international energy into your everyday life.

You don't even need to pack a bag. When you welcome an international student into your home, the world comes to you - with its stories, habits, culture and view of life you never knew existed.

What does it really look like?

Before you open the doors of your home, explore the stories we have selected for you. There you will find practical tips, recommendations, and interesting texts about how to become a great host, how to connect with your guest's culture, and how to create an unforgettable adventure in Serbia together.

On a friend's recommendation, I applied for a volunteer internship in Türkiye, where I spent an amazing six weeks. I improved my English, worked with children at a summer camp, and felt what it's really like to live in another country rather than just being a tourist.

Going on an AIESEC professional internship in Germany allowed me to test my knowledge and skills, decide which direction I wanted to build my career in, and get the chance to work on that at DHL. With a huge community of interns and support at every step, the Global Talent internship is an experience not to be missed!

The kids spoke English with her and picked up some Turkish, we swapped recipes, and took her to Sremski Karlovci and Petrovaradin Fortress. She became part of our family. An experience we'd recommend to anyone, and we'd gladly do it again.

It still feels like it was all just a dream.

Now I'm richer with many friends on the other side of the world, and they're richer with a taste of homemade ajvar!
