If you are going abroad, one thing you need to do is try as much
On-Site Orientation
Most Learn International programmes will have an on-site orientation to assist participants in learning about their host country.
Onsite Orientation
For most programmes, there will be an orientation provided either in-person or remotely.
During orientation, we discuss important elements of the itinerary for students, along with a variety of relevant topics for their host country.
Topics typically included in our orientations are:
- Local customs, culture and resources
- Recognising culture shock and how to manage it
- Conduct and ambassadorship while abroad
- Health and safety, emergency protocols and international health insurance
- Programme specifics and itinerary review (housing, meals, excursions, etc.)
- Day-to-day needs (food, money and banking, public transportation)
- Communication with staff, electronic sources and mobile phones
Orientation is a great way for participants to meet their Learn International in-country support team, learn real-life details about their host country and, most importantly, how to be safe on their study abroad programme.
