Erin Craig LC Melbourne I left Mexico with a great appreciation of the opportunity provided to me by IAESTE and a feeling that I wanted to enrich the experience of students completing their traineeships here in Australia. I therefore decided to get involved in the IAESTE Australia Local Committee, based in Melbourne.

Abel Crawford LC Adelaide Being in the LC isn’t just about emails and organising. Since I have got to know the trainees I often join them for lunch at the university, go along to birthday celebrations or just hang out somewhere to eat or drink. We are organising activities such as a go-kart night, stand up comedy, downhill mountain biking, cliff jumping, snorkelling and a few BBQ’s. Hanging out with these guys has been a lot of fun and I look forward to doing more with them in the time we all have left in Adelaide. It has been awesome experiencing the cultures of the trainees from Brazil to Sweden to Germany.
