This exciting initiative offers a simple way for schools to advance their student's Indonesian language skills. 
The Indonesian Language Learning Ambassadors program has been developed by the Asia Education Foundation (AEF) in partnership with Australia Awards in Indonesia.
 
Based on the AEF's Go Global Ambassadors, this program will connect Australian schools with Australia Awards recipients currently studying education courses in top tier universities across Australia for a period of 5-6 weeks in Terms 3 and 4 2017.  

The Ambassadors will engage students with Indonesia, explaining what it means to be a global citizen in 2017 and helping them develop the skills required to navigate and succeed in a globally connected and culturally diverse world. They will also help students connect what they learn in the classroom with future education and career pathways based on their Indonesian language proficiency. 
 
It is a free program for Australian schools.
Schools can register at: https://illa2017.eventbrite.com.au
