Communication is an essential part of our life and it can be a creative process to inspire others. Among our volunteer works you can find different types of communication and promotion ideas and you can follow how they share their experiences. Besides common workshops, you have a chance to develop your communication skills as our volunteer. Join us for the next two years and inspire others with your work!
Communication skills and creativity are soft skills, which are increasingly important in the workplace, especially for those starting their careers, but also for those who have been working for a longer time.
If you are an alumni volunteer, the experience will give you plenty of opportunities to refine your communication skills. You will meet lots of new people, and your co-volunteers may come from different fields, which can be invaluable for boosting your interpersonal skills. There is a great chance that someone you meet while volunteering may become a valuable business contact later on.
The International Alumni Volunteer program 2021-2023 provides two main strands to support you when you get the Alumni Network Hungary membership: Promotion and communication and facilitating the alumni activities in various alumni chapters. Let’s see the communication strand in more detail.
If you make connections easily you can conduct interviews with our senior alumni e.g.: Basak Dilara Özdemir-Lakatos or Yedil Myrzakhanov) or create your vlog channel (see Feifei’s channel). However, if you prefer working in the background, you can share the news on different social media platforms, write blog posts about your experiences or professional achievements (like Zahra Fulandvand or Botar Mariko’s mentor webpage in Japanese). Besides these tasks, you can also help us with your local knowledge at different education fairs and at the events of Tempus Public Foundation with translation, organization, or with the promotion of the Alumni Network Hungary.
Our network has an enthusiastic volunteer group, who devote their time and energy to build the Alumni Network Hungary through communication and promotion activities. Besides their work, we also had workshops even during the pandemic for discussing the network’s future and services. We provided online tutorials to mentor them and to support their volunteering and we also had individual consultations about their volunteer plan.
Our volunteer programme is a long-term project (of 2 years at least) after which we give you a certificate or reference for your future work as a recommendation. Join us and become our international alumni volunteer for the next two years, and make the alumni community more vivid together!
Now the application period for the International Alumni Volunteer program is open till the end of August and if you wish to support the Alumni Network Hungary through volunteering, we are happy to hear from you.
Finally, volunteering can help you to feel more valued by those you work with. It may also help you to prove yourself that you can have an impact. These things can do wonders for your confidence and self-esteem, both of which may significantly improve your chances of getting the job you want.
