Information for program participants
What you need to know when you would like to participate in an AIESEC program abroad as student or graduate:
Make sure you are covered …
AIESEC's objective and purpose is to strengthen students around the world to grow into socially relevant positions with leadership experiences.
By participating in social projects and professional internships abroad, you do not only increase your
specialized knowledge but also improve your language and intercultural communication skills.
AIESEC supports the preparations for your stay abroad. However, insurance cover is something you need to take care of yourself.
It is vital though that you should never travel abroad without having proper international
health insurance.
Product exclusively for AIESEC program participants
DR-WALTER developed the insurance combination AIESEC-STUDENT-INSURANCE in cooperation with AIESEC exclusively for program participants.
It consists of comprehensive assistance benefits, health insurance abroad, as well as accident, liability and baggage insurance
and offers customized coverage for young talents abroad.
Prior to your stay abroad
Many embassies require an insurance certificate as a prerequisite for granting visa. So make sure to purchase
insurance in time. Should the stay abroad be postponed to a later date, you can always adjust the insurance
period respectively. In this case, all you need to do is send us an email prior to the planned day of departure. Where
you notify us after the originally planned day of departure, you need to provide us with proof (passport copy or
ticket).
During your stay abroad
Should you need medical treatment during your stay abroad, we will be happy to assist you. You can call us
and we will explain what you need to know when visiting a doctor abroad. You will also find all the details
in our section What to do in the event of a claim.
AIESEC-STUDENT-INSURANCE is valid in the area of validity of your choice (Europe, worldwide without USA and
Canada, worldwide incl. USA and Canada). In addition, accidents and emergency treatments are also covered
worldwide and in your home country during holidays with a duration of up to 6 weeks.
After your stay abroad
You should always keep your insurance certificate since the authorities in a number of home countries require
proof of insurance for the time spent abroad.
