As the pandemic made international travel difficult or even impossible, Shanghai Jiao Tong University has launched Jiao◦Tong Global Virtual Classroom (Jiao◦Tong GVC) initiative recently. This initiative encourages virtual student exchange and online teaching collaboration between SJTU and partner universities across the globe. As virtual exchanges allow for convenient and valuable international experiences, this initiative will therefore enable students from different countries to exchange ideas and get inspired by one another in a same global virtual classroom. 

For Fall Semester 2021, a total of 20 SJTU courses are offered to international students from partner universities. UNS students are highly welcomed to participate as virtual exchange students.

More details of Jiao◦Tong GVC initiative and courses available in 2021 Fall can be found at Jiao◦Tong GVC Website.

Applications are NOW OPEN until September 4, 2021.

Svetski omladinski talas  poziva volontere da učestvuju u njihovom najvećem projektu i najvećem studentskom festivalu u jugoistočnoj Evropi – ISWiB.

Međunarodna studentska nedelja u Beogradu  (International Student Week in Belgrade) održaće se ove godine u periodu od 6. do 13. avgusta.

Prijave za volontere traju do 11. juna.

Za sve dodatne informacije, obratite se putem mejla ili društvenih mreža @iswib_ i @sot_org

Festival ISWiB, jedan od najvećih studentskih festivala u jugoistočnoj Evropi, otvorio je prijave za svoje volontere koji će u periodu od 6. do 13. avgusta učestvovati u realizaciji istog. Konkurs je sačinjen iz dva kruga. Prvi krug je forma koju treba popuniti do 11. juna, a drugi krug je intervju uživo.

Volonteri su podeljeni u četiri grupe:

1. Group Guide – vodiči
2. Logistika
3. Info&Host
4. Media volonteri (potrebno je imati svoj fotoaparat).

Pre samog festivala biće organizavne radionice za sve volontere kako bi se upoznali sa svojim zaduženjima. Predznanje i iskustvo nije od presudnog značaja za odabir, osim za Media volontere za koje je potrebno da znaju da koriste fotoaparat. Smeštaj nije obezbeđen, tako da je neophodno da u periodu radionica i festivala volonteri imaju svoj smeštaj u Beogradu.

S obzirom da je bezbednost na festivalu prioritet, uslov za volontiranje je obavezna vakcinacija (2 doze do samog festivala) ili Serološki test (test na antitela). Vakcinacija i antitela znatno smanjuju rizik širenja virusa.

Na zvaničnim profilima na društvenim mrežama nalaze se dodatne informacije, kao i iskustva dosadašnjih volontera koji su pokušali da na najbolji način približe volontiranje na ISWiB-u.

Međunarodna studentska nedelja u Beogradu (International Student Week in Belgrade) zasniva se na konceptu „mladi za mlade”, pružajući mladim ljudima priliku da steknu neophodno teorijsko, ali i praktično iskustvo iz različitih oblasti. Značajan broj, kako učesnika, tako i volontera, priključuju se festivalu svake godine i doprinose njegovoj realizaciji svojim entuzijazmom i posvećenošću. Ovogodišnja tema festivala je mentalno zdravlje, čime želimo da podstaknemo mlade da u svakom trenutku treba da cene sebe.
