Our curious title may make you wonder, exactly how different are the ideological foundations underlying our project, what's so relatively 'new' about our thinking, the way we do things. Along the course of history, the dichotomy between 'old' and 'new' has always been prevalent. The Age of Enlightenment of the 17th century was a social trend which embraced reason, science and rationality, which departed from the old school of thought of mysticism and magic where social life was centred around the clergy. The New World refers historically to the Americas, discovered through the voyages of Columbus. In traversing beyond the known world, explorers like Columbus had discovered new lands which could breed new ideas like democracy, equality, freedom, a departure from the Old World of Europe, where the pinnacles of power, influence and wealth were the reserve of the aristocracy. So, how does Project Embedded conduct itself as a new idea driving social change??
-Challenge your old worldviews: If you previously thought of profits and social augmentation as something irreconcilable, challenge this view by attending Symposium Neue Thinken, where we introduce you to a field of new ideas that're currently/systematically changing the world, where world leaders and organisations have sat up and noticed.
-Sustainability: If you perceived of student projects as always ad-hoc, existing temporarily to meet current demands, we envision PED as a platform with long-run sustainability.
-A carrier of AIESEC values: If you always though the route to leadership as being extremely bureaucratic, PED furthers the AIESEC values by nurturing leadership and providing ample chances for your personal growth. Previously, haven't you encountered several organisations, committees, jobs which require applicants to have a heavy portfolio of leadership titles and experience before they deemed you acceptable? PED believes in the potential within you and thus looks beyond such bureaucratic procedures.
