Depending on where you live, applying to join a program will follow a slightly different route. Please email us and we will put you in touch with one of our representatives in your country - please be sure to tell us your exact location including the city where you live. If you are a university student, there may already be a representative at your school, so please let us know where you are studying too.

Your local representative will be able to provide the latest details regarding schedules, fees and other conditions. Our representatives work very closely with us and will be able to explain the application process in detail, but if you do have any questions, please do not hesitate to let us know.

In the meantime, you may be interested to know more about the people who have joined us before. Please check out: photos | comments from past participants

Background of Presenters

IIP Presenters come from diverse backgrounds and are screened on the basis of their personality, communicative ability and purpose in participating. Typically, most presenters are in their 20's and 30's and are in, or have recently graduated from, higher education. Although some may have experience as teachers in their own country, most presenters are ordinary citizens, who are eager to share their culture and language as volunteer teaching assistants.

International Presenters are deeply committed to sharing their culture and language with the world through a diverse range of activities, but some additional reasons they may join the program include:

• Improving communication and foreign language skills
• Learning about educational systems overseas
• Challenging themselves in preparation for future careers
• Experiencing daily life in another culture and developing an international mind-set
