Buku Panduan Studi Ke Luar Negeri

Download Buku Panduan Studi Ke Luar Negeri.

Bingung cari informasi awal untuk belajar ke suatu negara? Buku yang disusun oleh Perhimpunan Pelajar Indonesia (PPI) Dunia ini bisa jadi pilihan.

Buku bertajuk "Belajar ke Luar Negeri" ini diharapkan bisa menjadi pedoman bagi setiap mahasiswa yang berniat belajar di luar negeri. Panduan belajar dibuat terpisah berdasarkan negara tujuan studi sehingga calon pelajar bisa mengenal kondisi negara yang dituju, mulai dari identitas negara, karakteristik budaya dan gaya hidup, akomodasi dan transportasi yang tersedia hingga cara bertahan hidup di negara tujuan masing-masing dan kesempatan memperoleh beasiswa.

Dalam rilis yang diterima Kompas.com, Kamis (3/1/2-13), Koordinator PPI Dunia, 

Zulham Effendi mengatakan, buku ini bertujuan untuk mengubah stigma pembaca tentang belajar di luar negeri. Dengan demikian, segala bentuk ketakutan, kecemasan dan kebimbangan untuk belajar di luar negeri dapat terjawab.

Untuk seri pertama, panduan studi di enam negara, yaitu Austria, Republik Ceko, Portugal, Perancis, Rusia dan Swedia, diterbitkan dalam 213 halaman. Uniknya, setiap bab ditulis oleh para mahasiswa dari negara tujuan studi masing-masing yang kemudian digabungkan oleh seorang koordinator. Penggabungan bab dalam seri pertama buku ini, misalnya, dikoordinir oleh Hery Dian dari PPI Ceko.

Menariknya, PPI Dunia menerbitkan buku panduan ini dalam format PDF. Buku elektronik ini bisa diunduh dengan bebas melalui laman resmi PPI masing-masing negara tujuan studi, misalnya PPI Perancis atau PPI Ceko atau bisa dibaca online di laman ini.

Beasiswa D3 & S1 Pemkab Aceh Utara

Mahasiswa Aceh Utara yang ingin memperoleh beasiswa dari Pemkab setempat dipersilakan mengantar berkasnya ke kantor Majelis Pendidikan Daerah (MPD) Aceh Utara. Karena sesuai surat Bupati Aceh Utara, MPD setempat adalah lembaga yang menerima dan menyeleksi berkas beasiswa untuk mahasiswa strata satu (S1) dan diploma III yang sedang menyusun tugas akhir (skripsi/laporan).

Berkas yang telah lengkap syaratnya akan mulai diterima awal Maret mendatang. “Jumlah dana yang tersedia dari APBK 2013 untuk membantu mahasiswa yang sedang menyusun tugas akhir (skripsi atau laporan) sebesar 1,2 miliar rupiah. Dana itu kita prioritaskan bagi mahasiswa kurang mampu,” jelas Ketua MPD Aceh Utara, Ibrahim Bewa, menjawab Serambi Rabu (20/2) terkait permintaan sejumlah mahasiswa agar Pemkab Aceh Utara memperjelas pengumuman beasiswa itu.

Kepada mahasiswa yang ingin mengajukan berkas beasiswa itu, Ibrahim berharap dapat melampirkan syarat yang telah ditentukan. “Kita rencanakan beasiswa kita berikan 2 juta rupiah per mahasiswa. Namun, jika mahasiswa yang mengajukan berkas tidak banyak, jumlah beasiswanya bisa bertambah,” ujar Ibrahim.

Ia menargetkan proses penerimaan beasiswa bisa selesai dalam waktu sebulan. Sebab, setelah pengumuman penerimaan berkas ditutup, pihaknya akan memverifikasi berkas tersebut. “Jika ada mahasiswa yang belum melengkapi persyaratan, akan kita beri waktu kembali untuk melengkapinya. Tapi, jika sampai batas waktu yang ditentukan tak juga melengkapi, dianggar gugur,” katanya. Ibrahim berharap beasiswa itu nantinya akan dapat meringankan beban mahasiswa dalam menyelesaikan tugas akhir.

GWIM is supported by the ExxonMobil Women’s Economic Opportunity Initiative, a global effort launched in 2005 to help women in developing countries fulfill their economic potential and serve as drivers of economic and social change in their communities.

Participants ~ CEDPA GWIM is designed for mid-career women from civil society organizations (local NGOs, cooperatives, business women’s associations, etc.) that target emerging and existing women business leaders and entrepreneurs with

§  skill development,

§  opportunities to start or grow a business,

§  use of tools or technologies that advance women economically, and

§  access to resources.

Investing in women’s leadership and programmatic competencies strengthens the capacity of their institutions to launch or expand high quality, replicable programs and ultimately empower and equip larger numbers of women to participate in their local economies.   

Eligible Countries ~ Angola, Argentina, Brazil, Canada (Aboriginal), China, Colombia, Gabon, Guyana, Indonesia,  Liberia, Malaysia, Mexico, Mozambique, Myanmar, Nigeria, Papua New Guinea, Romania, Russia, South Africa, South Sudan, Tanzania, Ukraine, United States (Native Leaders), and Vietnam.

Overview ~ CEDPA GWIM creates a supportive and participatory learning environment for the exchange of best practices and experiences, strategy development and skill building. Within the context of women’s economic development priorities, GWIM strengthens competencies in project and financial management, leadership, proposal writing, communications and advocacy to strengthen the management and implementation of women’s economic empowerment programs. Technical training focuses on the range of opportunities created by new tools and technologies from a business and productivity perspective; success factors and opportunities for entrepreneurship; methodologies for improved efficiency and effectiveness; and models and best practices in micro-credit, marketing, social entrepreneurship, etc.

Post-Workshop Support ~ We are committed to supporting its alumni beyond the workshop setting as they apply new skills and knowledge to strengthen their organizations and programs and build the business and leadership competencies of women in their communities.  Following GWIM, participants are invited to participate in the Alumni Coaching Program.  Each graduate is matched with a trained coach for a structured and guided year-long coaching relationship.  The coaching provides participants with technical guidance and resources to strengthen economic projects and activities, as well as professional support for issues related to supervision, career planning, fundraising, etc. We monitor the entire coaching experience and evaluate the program and its outcomes at the end of the year.  In addition, we sustain on-going relationships with alumni through its alumni network, participation in international and regional meetings and through professional consultancies.
