JPP 2009 Details
Dates
Application due date: September 1, 2008
Program start: Saturday, January 3, 2009
Program finish: Saturday, February 14, 2009
Participants should arrive no later than Friday January 2 for a brief
orientation and settling in period. Because of the problems of getting seats on aeroplanes during the New Year period, participants are strongly advised to book their flights early. For the JPP 2008 ACICIS managed to get a group booking with Qantas from Sydney to Jakarta (return) for just over half of the participants. We will attempt to do this again for JPP 2009. However, participants must realise that the responsibility to arrange flights belongs to the participant. ACICIS will accept no liability if a participant is unable to arrange flights.
The program is made up of an initial two-week intensive language and
cultural course at Atma Jaya University (at 6 days per week until
Saturday January 17) followed by a four-week work placement in the
Indonesian media, from Monday, January 19 to Friday, February 13.
