Students enjoying JUMP
JUMP (Join Us to Motivate People) 2019 was organised in Fethiye,
Turkey between 19-23 September 2019. 77 participants from 15
IAESTE member countries JOINED US!
IAESTE Turkey hosted this event organised by volunteer students
of Turkish Local Committees. Among the subjects discussed at the
workshops during this event were, collecting internships from
employers, Local Committees structures, marketing, etc. The main
purpose of this event is the motivation and education of newly
participated LCs, whose volunteer students from different countries
learn about how IAESTE is structured under National and Local
Committees. Experienced students discuss the various aspects of
IAESTE work in the workshops, thus the students going back to their
countries start to implement this cooperative work principle with their
own LCs.
IAESTE Turkey Volunteers celebrating JUMP success
JUMP is a totally student related event, giving the students enough
space to express themselves together with their peers and guide
them in a way that could motivate students. One of IAESTE’s main
purposes is to recognise cultural diversities and include them in
IAESTE’s internship process. JUMP has been realising this aim since
its introduction as an international student event apart from National
Committees which are more focused on the administrative exchange
process. Expanding the international network among the students,
sharing knowledge, as well as increasing the students’ cooperation
and motivation are key factors that contribute to IAESTE exchange
process.
