My first AIESEC "cultural shock" in the UK

I am doing quite a lot of matching for AIESEC UK at the moment. I am still a bit surprised by the way they sell the Global Exchange Programme here. They focus a lot on the starting point (for them cold calling) and not so much on the end result (having interns coming to UK for their AIESEC internship). They/We planned to call 2000 companies this summer (which I think is quite ambicious compare to what we do in Belgium) but they only plan to raise 10 or 15 internships (which I think is quite unambicious compare to Belgium). Oh and I forgot to mention that we are (only) five in the team with me as a CEEDer to do this. All of them except one are on the picture with the AIESEC Warwick interns during an intern drink. Netheless to say we are working hard at the moment :-) I really hope we will get some results at the end of the day: my fingers are crossed...
