Practicalities
The length of the internship and your role can be agreed with Loo Niva. The internships are unpaid. Please look for options for funding your stay during the internship on the university’s website. Loo Niva can support the intern in finding a suitable rental apartment or room. Depending on the type and comfort level of the accommodation, the prices start from around 500€ a month. Interns will take care of the accommodation and other living costs themselves.
Collaboration between Aurora Borealis, JYY and Loo Niva
Perhaps you have sometimes purchased a development cooperation lunch ticket at Ilokivi? That means you have already supported Loo Niva and their Youth Sponsorship Program in Nepal. From every sold development cooperation lunch ticket, 20 cents goes directly to Loo Niva’s program. Aurora Borealis works hand in hand with the Student Union of the University of Jyväskylä and together, we collect funds for Loo Niva. You can read more about how Aurora Borealis and Student Union of the University of Jyväskylä work together here.
How can Aurora Borealis support your internship?
Aurora Borealis wants to strengthen the partnerships with JYY and Loo Niva and and provide students with an opportunity to do their internship in Nepal, taking part in Loo Niva’s projects that we have together supported for several years. We can support the interns by connecting the students in Jyväskylä with our partner contacts in Loo Niva. Together, we can discuss the ways to create a meaningful and educational traineeship for you. Aurora Borealis works as the link between Jyväskylä and Nepal and offers guidance and training for students before the internship begins.
