World@School

World@School is a project that Study in Flanders implemented starting in the academic year 2017-2018, with the support of the Flemish department of Education and Training, in order to also promote internationalisation in primary and secondary schools.

Description

The World@School-project brings international students from Flemish universities and universities of applied sciences and arts in contact with primary and/or secondary schools. As a student you can particpate by giving a presentation or workshop about local habits and customs, general topics, language, music, etc. The theme of the activity is determined by the student and the school in mutual agreement. After the activity, the international student will receive a financial compensation by VLUHR-i.

Admission criteria

Each international student at a Flemish higher education institution can participate in the World@School-project: students who stay in Flanders for a short period of time or for a long period of time. Also the nationality of the student is not taken into account.

Modalities

The student will receive a financial compensation by the VLUHR-i secretariat for their time and effort.

For a physical event:

  • a fixed amount of €50 (solo presentation) or € 70 (duo presentation) for the first two sessions;
  • you will receive €15 extra per additional session of the same activity.

For example: if you give three sessions of a solo presentation, you will be financally compensated with an amount of €65.

For a virtual event:
