Apply now to become a Lapland UAS My Global Diary Ambassador!

What are My Global Diary Ambassadors? 

The My Global Diary Ambassadors of Lapland University of Applied Sciences are student ambassadors aiming to inspire others to start their own internationalisation journey. They share stories from abroad and and from international activitites connected to their studies and life. This means that as an ambassador you get to be a part of our amazing team and you get to share your internationalisation experiences, whether it was during exchange, about applying process for exchange, about internship abroad or about going international at home. You will increase your internationalisation competencies and networking skills. The task is completely student-oriented, and you are able to do it with your own style and with a relaxed attitude, but you always have the support of the internationalisation team behind you. In this task ambassadors work for a period of six months.

What do we expect from an Ambassador?                               

We expect you to share your internationalisation journey with your colleagues & university community. Your journey should be expressed in the way you feel it deserves to be shared. Essentially, the Ambassador proposes the content and creates the media in the way they want (text, image, video, voice-over, etc).

Overall, we are looking for motivated & inspired students, who can work independently and deliver the proposed content by agreed deadlines. Also, we expect an Ambassador has experience with social media platforms, specifically Instagram. 

As an Ambassador you get to:

  • Create content to different channels (but especially for My Global Diary Ambassador Lapland UAS Instagram)
  • Inspire students to get internationalisation experiences and to share their stories 
  • To be involved in implementing various events
  • Freedom to create content adapted to yourself

You will get:

  • Payment of 200€/semester
  • Valuable experience on internationalisation skills
  • Practical experience with marketing & digital content creation
  • Opportunity to develop academic work aligned with this project
