Volunteers of the Autumn 2012 programme celebrate

I already know I want to do this and go directly to the sign-up form

In January approximately 350 new international students will arrive in Tromsø. Through the Introductory Programme they are welcomed to the city and introduced to various academic and practical matters. All of it depends on Norwegian and International volunteers.

Volunteer Kick-off meeting: Monday 13 May kl 14:00-15:30,

TEO House 1 - Auditorium 2

What do you do?

Volunteers receive and assist incoming students at the airport 5-6 August. From 7-12 August volunteers help with practical mattersduring the Introductory programme and at excursions. The new students address our volunteers with a lot of small and big questions. You can provide the answers and give the international newcomers a good start at UiT.

What do you get in return?

  • training
  • an exciting and interesting experience
  • a certificate and a "plus" on your CV
  • practice your English or other language skills
  • access to DebutUka volunteer activities and benefits (autumn only)

But most important: You get to know a lot of fantastic people from all over the world!
