Three days of IAESTE workshops on an island the size of a city, with the sea never far away.

Join Us to Motivate People

JUMP is IAESTE's training and development seminar. It is built for members who are new, and for members who want to understand IAESTE and how it works from the inside.

Over three days we run workshops on how IAESTE runs day to day: raising jobs, managing exchange, keeping a local committee going. Everything is meant to be taken home and used.

You do not need years of experience. You need to be an IAESTE member and to be up for meeting people from other committees.

Who comes

New members

You joined recently and want the full picture of what IAESTE actually does, not just your own task.

Who comes

Members who want to know IAESTE better

You have been around a while and want to get properly familiar with how the organisation and its exchange work.

A rock in the middle of the Mediterranean

Malta is small enough to cross in an hour and old enough to have temples that predate the pyramids. In October the crowds have thinned out, the sea is still warm, and the light is at its best.

The eyes on our logo are not decoration. Every luzzu, the wooden fishing boat painted yellow, red and blue, carries a pair on the bow. Fishermen have painted them there for a very long time so the boat can see what is coming.

  • Valletta is the smallest capital city in the EU, and the entire city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
  • The temples at Ġgantija on Gozo are older than the pyramids at Giza.
  • Maltese is the only Semitic language written in the Latin alphabet, and an official language of the EU.
  • The Knights of St John ruled the islands for 268 years. The eight-pointed cross on our logo is theirs.
  • The sea around the islands is usually still warm enough to swim in during October.

Sprachcaffe Campus

Alamein Road, Pembroke.

A limestone campus built by the British in the early 1900s and now a language school, with the whole conference in one place: rooms, workshop spaces, restaurant, bar, garden, volleyball court and a very large swimming pool.

Accommodation is in shared rooms of three people on campus, so there is no commute and nothing to find in the morning.

The sea is a short walk from the campus, and Valletta is roughly twenty minutes away by bus.

  • Shared rooms of three, single-sex by default. Tell us if you need something different.
  • Everything on one site: sleeping, workshops, meals, evenings.
  • Swimming pool, garden and volleyball court.
  • Bar and restaurant on campus.
  • Wi-Fi across the site.
