Australia-Indonesia Youth Exchange Program (AIYEP): Applications now open and will close at 5pm AEST on Wednesday 28 August 2014
The Australia-Indonesia Institute (AII) invites applications from Australians aged between 21 and 25 years (at the time of departure to Indonesia), willing to represent Australia for two months in Indonesia during December 2014 to February 2015 as members of the AIYEP 2014-15.
The program aims to provide wider opportunities for young people from Indonesia and Australia to appreciate the culture, development and way of life of each other’s country and to build groups of young and potentially influential people in both Australia and Indonesia who have knowledge and personal experience of the two countries and who develop close and enduring links with each other.
Participants will be chosen from applicants undertaking tertiary studies or employed in any one or more of the following areas:
Agriculture, Aquaculture, Arts, Music, Asian Studies, Economics, Business, International Relations, Education, Engineering, Science, Environmental Management, Gender Studies, Journalism, Media, Information and Communications Technology, Law, Health, Politics, Sport, Tourism and Hospitality.
A good level of Indonesian language is desirable though not essential as the program makes allowances for some participants to learn the language during the period of the exchange – however the basics of the Indonesian language must be acquired before the holding of pre-departure training. Applicants must be in good health.
Closing Date
The closing date for applications is 5pm AEST Wednesday 28 August 2014.
All applicants must complete the application form in full and provide all mandatory requested documentation. Applications that do not meet these minimum requirements will be deemed ineligible.
Please note the AII Secretariat will not accept late applications.
The Indonesian AIYEP participants are due to arrive in Australia in October 2014.
