Speak Up, in short, SU is a six weeks social project started by AIESEC in Malaysia in January 2015. Being one of the three national projects organised by AIESEC in Malaysia, SU focused on the social issues of low English proficiency and STEM knowledge among students. The project’s planning involved university students in both public and private higher education institutions using a design framework created by AIESEC and our partner Teach for Malaysia (TFM). While the project execution involves youth volunteers recruited from all over the world.
Malaysian secondary school students have a poor command of English & lack of good communication abilities. Based on the National Education Blueprint 2013-2025 (Preschool to Post-Secondary Education), 3 out of 10 of secondary students achieved a minimum credit in their SPM English paper. At the same time, one of the most highlighted importance of raising the quality of education by the general public is communication skills among secondary students. This in accordance to the 4th Global Goal, thus the project is to empower underserved students in Malaysia to have a better future by developing their English proficiency & enhancing their personal development through workshops and consistent communication initiatives.
The project consists of several components for both secondary school students and global volunteers.
1st - Train the Trainer (TtT)
Which aims to equip our volunteers with enough knowledge and skills when we are engaging and teaching students English with the kind help of our Partners Teach For Malaysia (TFM).
2nd - School Workshops
Which aim to raise awareness and the importance of English Speaking and to boost up students’ confidence in speaking English with interactive activities.
3rd - Action Initiative Planning
Which aims to evaluate the project deliverables and impacts, and to ensure the sustainability of our impacts even the projects have ended with the school teachers, global volunteers and our committees.
4th - Global Village
Which aims to foster cultural exchange with the global volunteer showcasing their food, cultural elements from their home country.
Speak Up has been reached more than 800 Global Volunteers, 160 Secondary Schools and 2,200 Secondary Students. More than 83% of these stakeholders have ranked our project with a score of 8 out of 10, and more than 76% of the Secondary Students have ranked themselves more confident in using English for daily interaction with peers (7 out of 10), some of them even become the Committee of the Toastmaster Club which reveals that what Speak Up brings to them is not just about short-term change but a long-term impact.

Our Vision
AIESEC strives for Peace and Fulfilment of Humankind's Potential as an organisation.
In today’s context, ‘Peace’ does not necessarily mean only avoiding war. Peace can symbolise a world that does not have conflicts that arise from cultural, religious, or other aspects of differences in humanity. Peace can also symbolise being in harmony with yourself. AIESEC strives to build a world where people can work towards their own understanding of peace while respecting and understanding the views of others.
Through Fulfilment of Humankind’s Potential, AIESEC strives for a world where people can be the best version of themselves.
Our Action
We place our confidence in youth because they have the passion, dynamism and entrepreneurial spirit that are needed to shape the future. They have the responsibility to improve tomorrow by choosing who they will be today. Hence, AIESEC is a platform for young leaders to run projects that are aligned with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to ensure its relevance to the local community needs. We aim to be part of the solution for the betterment of Malaysia.
