What is an internship abroad?

  • An internship abroad means that you will work for a foreign organization for a certain period of time in order to help and especially to learn from it.
  • In general, you will not receive any remuneration for your work in the form of salary, expenses or board and lodging, for example. Unless you work in a sector where your local background can be of added value, and there is sufficient budget at the organization concerned

To what extent are you insured for the risks of doing a traineeship and intern abroad?

  • Several reasons may apply why you need separate insurance when doing an internship abroad, or at least check your insured situation carefull
    • Local organizations usually offer no, or very limited, insurance
    • The risk of accidents is present because you are doing work with which you have little experience, for example
    • During your internship abroad, in most countries the coverage of your own health insurance expires. You will then need special insurance to remain properly insured for illness and accidents.

    What social activities can you do abroad?

    • Opportunities are found in the areas of helping, learning or studying. You can get involved to volunteer in a social project at a school in Africa, Asia or Latin America. You can get involved in nature, in a project with animals or cleaning the sea or beaches. Those who want to learn more can choose for example a language course in Latin America, Spain or South Africa.
    Back to top

    What work related activities can you do abroad?

    • If you want to gain work experience, and/or also earn money, go and work abroad. You can combine backpacking in Australia with temporary work. You can work on campsites in Europe or bush camps in Africa. You can pretty much go all over the world to work in the hospitality industry, hotels and hostels, in the healthcare sector or for example at a diving school.
    Back to top

    What sports activities to do abroad?

    • Have you ever thought of mountain biking, rafting (going down a wild river on a raft or rubber dinghy, climbing or canoeing), survival (which involves building rafts, climbing or canoeing), abseiling (descending a rock face while secured to ropes), zip-lining (whizzing down a cable), canyoning (starting at the top of a river and then climbing, swimming, diving down the bed) or caving (scrambling, wriggling and crawling through caves and crevices)?
    • Maybe you feel more comfortable on a bodyboard (on a half-wave surfboard, you surf the high waves lying down-with flippers), on a hang glider or while paragliding (with a parachute you float down a mountain or dune), hydrospeeding (on a bodyboard with flippers and a wetsuit on you go down a wild river via rapids) or Tiefschneeskiing (racing down through powder snow)?
