[Indonesian_open] FW: AIYEP home placements

[Wittman, Leonie]

Teman-teman yang baik

A great opportunity for teachers and students in Sydney to host AIYEP
Australia Indonesia Youth Exchange Program participants. See message
below from Sue Piper.

It may be too late for year 12 students to host (as it clashes with the
HSC), but a great chance for other students.

Dear Leonie

 

I would REALLY appreciate your help with this one to get the word out
and so that teachers can:

 

1.        encourage students to get involved by offering a 3 wk homestay
- what better way to improve your Indonesian? If you can't visit
Indonesia with your school then have an Indonesian student stay with
you! 

2.       have the Indonesian students perform a 60 minute dance and
music performance in their school assembly hall on Monday 19, or 26 Oct
or 3 November

3.       have an Indonesian student assistant for 3 wks (only 1 or 2 of
these)

 

You know what a warm reception Indonesia gives to Australian visitors
and we would like to ensure the Indonesian students who come to Sydney
experience an including welcoming time, starting off with good home
placements.

 

I need to confirm 18 placements in 4 weeks time and only have 4
confirmed offers right now. 

 

 

Are you interested in providing a homestay or work placement for 

YOUNG INDONESIAN STUDENT LEADERS ?

 

A group of 18 university students - potential future leaders of
Indonesia - will visit Sydney in October to experience Australia's
culture and way of life. 

 

Sponsored by the Australia-Indonesia Institute in the Department of
Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Australia-Indonesia Youth Exchange
Program (AIYEP) is run in conjunction with the Indonesian Government's
Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sport. 

 

The students will spend three weeks in homestay and work placements in
Sydney over three weeks Saturday 18 October to Sunday 9 November. 

 

Nine women and men, aged 21 to 25, have been selected from across
Indonesia. They have bright futures in the arts and media, industry,
business, agriculture, law and government, education, health, the
environment, tourism, and social and community development. Their
English is good and they will undergo a thorough orientation program on
arrival in Sydney. 

 

"I'm so pleased we were part of the program, it was a wonderful
experience for us and our whole extended family. We found it well
organised and we appreciated the excellent flow of communication." 

 

Host families will gain an insight into Indonesian culture, customs and
attitudes while helping to promote the bilateral relationship on a
personal level. Each family receives a weekly subsidy of $150,
additional to the Indonesian participants having a basic living
allowance.

 

The Indonesians will undertake work placements from Tuesday to Friday
for these three weeks. 

 

They'll also give a highly entertaining and interactive, weekly cultural
performance to schools, universities and interested community bodies
during their time in Sydney.

 

At the end of their stay the group will spend three weeks in a country
centre, then return to Sydney to join their Australian counterpart group
for a similar two-month stay in the Indonesian province of East Java.

 

 

Kind regards
