Before you leave

You are not insured through Flanders Trainee Programme. It is best to check whether you are insured through your internship organisation or whether you need to take out (additional) insurance yourself.

The website Go Strange (in Dutch)(opens in new window) offers all kinds of practical tips to prepare for your stay abroad. The documents you need, places you can stay, the things you need to take with you, how you can prepare mentally, etc.

Visit the website Vlamingen in de Wereld (in Dutch)(opens in new window) to discover interesting stories about other Flemish people who preceded you in a foreign adventure. You can read what life is like in their new country and get in touch with Flemish people abroad. You will also find practical information for each destination.
