INDONESIA PROJECT Information Booklet summer 2013
AIESEC TILBURG
This Informa-on booklet is designed to provide you with informa-on on what projects will be available in Indonesia during this summer. The main focus of all the projects is the educa-on of children, where the goal will be to teach them English. However, the projects also address another issue, namely community building. During your stay in Indonesia and during your internship you will find yourself working with people and oBen children who find themselves at the boCom of the social ladder. This means that it is of great importance to not only educate, but furthermore also to be a connec-ng factor within the community.
All projects are of great quality and provide growth in not only teaching skills but also in social and people skills. When returning from a Global Community Development Program (GCDP) you will be a different person. Your view on the world and your place in it will be altered in a posi-ve way, while you have gained insights in a completely different culture with completely different people. Moreover, you will build long las-ng friendships with the people you will have worked with, but also with all the other AIESEC interns from all over the world.
In short, the Indonesia Project provides you with the unique opportunity to make new friends, explore a different culture and having a great -me in one of the most beau-ful places in the world while giving something back to the world in the form of doing something good for people who really need it. So don’t hesitate and apply for the Indonesia Project!
PREFACE
INDONESIA PROJECT AIESEC Tilburg in coopera-on with AIESEC UI (Universitas Indonesia – Jakarta) proudly present The Indonesia Project! With an environment ranging from breathtaking nature including white sandy beaches and crystal clear water to awe inspiring modernity with immense skyscrapers and big businesses, Indonesia has the best of both worlds. Indonesia with over 13,000 islands and more than 300 ethnic groups provides endless opportuni-es to not only explore the world but moreover to explore yourself within this ever changing world!
THE AIESEC EXPERIENCE The AIESEC experience consists of four stages: 1. Selec-on 2. Prepara-on 3. Integra-on 4. Reintegra-on
1. Selection Requirements: -‐ Flexible and pro-‐ac-ve students -‐ Be available for 6-‐8 weeks during the summer period (June-‐July) -‐ Have at least 60 ECTS
ABer handing in you applica-on to AIESEC Tilburg you will be invited for a Student Review Board (SRB). This is a selec-on conversa-on with two AIESEC members. This conversa-on will take about 1 hour and will be about your mo-va-on, preferences and competencies. For the SRB the CORE method (Circumstance, Opportunity, Reac-on and Effect) will be used to test competencies.
2. Preparation Coach: When you are accepted for an internship, you will, first of all, meet your coach. This person will guide you through the remaining stages of the AIESEC Experience: prepara-on, integra-on and re-‐integra-on. So you will get support from your coach before departure, during your internship and even when you return! For an op-mal assistance, regular contact with your coach is important. This can be obtained by personal mee-ngs, phone calls and e-‐mail. This way we will be able to give you the best support and help. Contract and fee: The next this you will do is sign the contract. The contract contains the responsibili-es of AIESEC Tilburg and your responsibili-es. By agreeing with the contract you also agree with paying the fee. To give AIESEC Tilburg permission to debit one -me an amount of 249 Euros, you need to sign an authoriza-on form. Regional Prepara9on Seminar: Regional Prepara-on Seminar (RPS) is a seminar together with other students from Tilburg, Nijmegen and Maastricht who are joining other internships with AIESEC all over the world. During this seminar you will get a training about how to deal with different cultures and how to prepare yourself for a possible culture shock.
3. Integration Recep9on: One of the most unique features of an AIESEC traineeship is that when you are abroad you are not on your own; the local AIESEC commiCee, in this case, AIESEC UI will guide you. The informal and social part of this help and guidance is called ‘recep-on’. When arriving in Indonesia, someone (or some-mes a whole group) from the local commiCee picks you up at the airport and guides you to your accommoda-on that is already prepared by them.
4. Reintegration Regional Reintegra9on Seminar: When returning from your internship in Indonesia, AIESEC Tilburg offers you the Regional Reintegra-on Seminar (RRS). The RRS just like the RPS offers you a seminar together with students from Tilburg, Nijmegen and Maastricht who all have been on an internship with AIESEC. The aim of the seminar is to discuss any difficul-es you might have had while abroad and to make sure that there is a smooth reintegra-on into the normal life. Next to this you will learn how to use your experience in future working life.

EXPERIENCE STORY Last summer I went to Jakarta in Indonesia for a voluntary internship in one of the poor neighborhoods of the city. Before my internship started I had the chance to explore the city of Jakarta; at first it seems a very chao-c place with not many things to see, but aBer a while you start apprecia-ng it. For the internship I worked together with 14 other interns and the people from AIESEC to teach the children in the Tugu Proklamasi neighborhood the importance of educa-on. It was a great experience that I’ll never forget. I hope the children will con-nue to study and in that way increase their chances in the future. (Erwin Geenen, 3rd year student of Interna-onal Business Administra-on )
EXPERIENCE STORY My name is Judy Middelburg and I worked for the Red Nose Founda-on in Jakarta for eight weeks in the summer of 2012. I gave English and circus lessons to children with the age ranging between 4 and 17 years old. I worked in two slums in Jakarta and the areas I had to work were very poor and dirty , but the kids were amazing and very enthusias-c. I really liked it to see what the Red Nose Founda-on is doing for all the kids and I learned a lot. My colleagues were great and they were really involved in the work they are doing. All these things made it great and inspiring to work for the Red Nose Founda-on. It was an unforgeCable experience.( Judy Middelburg, Master student of Human Resource ManagementI)
