This semester, a group of passionate Intercultural Management (ICM) students teamed up with Alexandra Maurer, the International Coordinator for Incoming Exchange Students, on an exciting project that aims to highlight the impact of student mobility. Led by Jasmin Ruppitsch, a dedicated fourth-semester ICM student, the team embarked on an engaging initiative that utilized Instagram as a platform to showcase the experiences of students during their exchange semesters.
Through a series of captivating visual stories on Instagram, the project captured the essence of student voices from various parts of the globe, including Spain, South Korea, Belgium, Germany, and Mexico. Each story offered a glimpse into the exchange students' lives, featuring campus walks, snapshots of local life, and invaluable tips about living and studying in a new country.
Through this student-driven project, the International Relations Office at CUAS emphasized the significance of internationalization and empowered student voices, providing a platform for them to share their unique stories and perspectives. By utilizing Instagram reels, a popular and visually appealing medium, the project has successfully captured the attention of a wide audience, spreading the message of the transformative power of student mobility – tips from students to students!

The project serves as a testament to the success of CUAS (Carinthia University of Applied Sciences) in establishing a robust network of partners for student mobility. CUAS has been instrumental in implementing student exchange programs, including the renowned Erasmus exchange semester and short mobility programs like BIPs (Blended Intensive Programs). These initiatives have opened doors for students to embark on life-changing experiences, broaden their horizons, and immerse themselves in different cultures.
