Benefits of Becoming a Digital Ambassador for Study in Sweden

3 things that a call for Digital Ambassador application would not tell you

Two international students stand together on steps leading up to a bridge.

<p class="wp-block-si-study-tsw-tsw-paragraph standard"><strong>I became a Study in Sweden digital ambassador in 2021, right after I arrived to Sweden. When I applied, I did not expect to get the job. I just thought I'd give it a try! Now it's been 3 years and I can safely say it was a great decision. It changed my student life in Sweden in so many ways. Here are the biggest benefits of having this job:</strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-si-study-tsw-tsw-heading">Study in Sweden meet-ups</h2>



<p class="wp-block-si-study-tsw-tsw-paragraph standard">Three times a year, we have meet-ups with our Study in Sweden team. The Instagram, blog, and China teams meet to brainstorm new content for the upcoming months. We stay at a cosy hotel (food, travel, and accommodation included), we have workshops with professionals, and it's often a lot of fun too. </p>

<p class="wp-block-si-study-tsw-tsw-paragraph standard">Most of the meet-ups are in Stockholm but we also had few in Uppsala. It's a great way to spend time with wonderful people and explore a new city!</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-style-default"><img src="https://cms.studyinsweden.se//app/uploads/2024/07/IMG_3220-1024x768.jpg" alt="A cosy hotel in Uppsala covered with snow." class="wp-image-43324" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo: Annamaria</figcaption></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-si-study-tsw-tsw-heading">The people you meet </h2>



<p class="wp-block-si-study-tsw-tsw-paragraph standard">Study in Sweden team is always composed of amazing people from different countries and cultures, studying different programmes. It's a diverse group of people with unique experiences. You not only get to have a lot of fun but you also learn so much from each other. I feel like now I have friends from all over the world! </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-style-default"><img src="https://cms.studyinsweden.se//app/uploads/2024/07/IMG_1532-1024x768.jpg" alt="Four people of different nationalities taking a selfie." class="wp-image-43325" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo: TJ</figcaption></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-si-study-tsw-tsw-heading">Remote, flexible, and creative job</h2>



<p class="wp-block-si-study-tsw-tsw-paragraph standard">One of the benefits of this job is that it's remote - you don't need to come to an office to do this job. You can be a digital ambassador from anywhere in Sweden. The only requirement is that you are a registered student in Sweden since the content we post is primarily for students.  </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-style-default"><img src="https://cms.studyinsweden.se//app/uploads/2024/07/IMG_0467-1024x576.jpg" alt="Train" class="wp-image-43328" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo: Patrik Moravcik</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-si-study-tsw-tsw-paragraph standard">The job offers a lot flexibility for how you schedule your monthly 20 hours. There is also flexibility in the content you create (as long as it's not offensive, obviously). Everyone's experience in Sweden is unique and that's why noone can dictate what you post. You get to track your journey and share it with the world! That's what makes this work super authentic and what makes me love it even more!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-si-study-tsw-tsw-heading">Helping people</h2>



<p class="wp-block-si-study-tsw-tsw-paragraph standard">As digital ambassadors, our goal is to encourage people to come study in Sweden. We are here to answer questions and make your journey in Sweden more enjoyable. We do it by sharing our tips and tricks, as well as our experiences through blog posts or on Instagram. Getting positive feedback and helping others is what makes this job fulfilling! </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-style-default"><img src="https://cms.studyinsweden.se//app/uploads/2024/07/summer-house.jpg" alt="Summer house" class="wp-image-43329" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo: Sara de Basly/imagebank.sweden.se</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-si-study-tsw-tsw-paragraph standard">I always appreciate when someone approaches me and says that my blog posts helped them on their journey. Same as when I receive emails with questions or supportive comments! This is why we do what we do! 😊</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-si-study-tsw-tsw-heading">More interesting CV and financial compensation</h2>



<p class="wp-block-si-study-tsw-tsw-paragraph standard">Last but not least, the job is officially offered by the Swedish Institute. How fancy does it sound to say: "I work for the Swedish Institute!". If that's not enough, imagine how it'll look on your CV. Next to full time studies, you managed to work for the Swedish Institute? Wow!<br>You also get a small financial compensation. It's not going to cover all your expenses since the job is only about 20 hours a month but in Sweden, even a small income helps, right?<br><br>Interested in the job? <a href="https://studyinsweden.se/news/become-a-study-in-sweden-digital-ambassador/">Apply!</a> Read Cocillier's blog post to learn more on <a href="https://studyinsweden.se/blogs/2019/07/06/how-to-become-a-study-in-sweden-digital-ambassador-my-experience/">how to become Study in Sweden digital ambassador</a>.</p>

<p class="wp-block-si-study-tsw-tsw-paragraph standard">Running through the Digital Ambassador (DA) application notice, thinking why there are so many documents or contemplating whether you should apply to become a Digital Ambassador and if being a Digital Ambassador is really worth your time?<br><br>I hope this blog post would help clear some of your doubts and motivate you to apply for this wonderful opportunity.<strong> </strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-si-study-tsw-tsw-heading">The dream team that one could only ask for</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://cms.studyinsweden.se//app/uploads/2021/08/Portrait_Group-2019-1024x512.jpg" alt="A group of Study in Sweden digital ambassadors" class="wp-image-35462"/><figcaption>Study in Sweden Digital Ambassadors 2019. Photo: Study in Sweden</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-si-study-tsw-tsw-paragraph standard">As you may or may not know, the Swedish working environment is all about flat hierarchy. And if you want to experience how it works, being a DA is a perfect opportunity. Our managers are Doug, Hannah, Xin and Yan are just so supportive and always there to support our ideas and work. They are the best “boss” that I could only ask for. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://cms.studyinsweden.se//app/uploads/2021/08/KUSU7406-1024x683.jpeg" alt="A group of Study in Sweden ambassadors cheering for 40 thousands Instagram followers" class="wp-image-35463"/><figcaption>Our meet-up in November 2019 and celebration to 40k Instagram followers. Photo: Study in Sweden</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-si-study-tsw-tsw-paragraph standard">When I first joined the Blog and Instagram team in Fall 2019, I was so nervous before our first meeting in Stockholm. But the first meet-up just totally turned my nervousness into excitement. Our Blog and Insta team of 7 young and passionate people coming from 7 different countries. Along with the Youtube and China team, we ran around Stockholm’s Gamla Stan to solve some quizzes. We celebrated our 40k Instagram followers on a winter day in Munkedal. And then when the pandemic came, we went through the pandemic together by supporting each other with digital Fika and cooking (yes, cooking!). These lovely people have lifted me so much through the dark time of winter.  </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-si-study-tsw-tsw-heading">Opportunities to learn and improve</h2>



<p class="wp-block-si-study-tsw-tsw-paragraph standard">What is even more special about my experience of being a Study in Sweden DA is that I had opportunities to learn, grow and improve my skills. Before the meet-ups, we had a chance to let our managers know which kind of skills or knowledge that we would like to improve. Then in the meet-ups, we always had skill sessions in which we were able to learn about photography, story-telling or blogging. We had the chance to learn from the best, meet with professionals who have worked extensively in the communication field, get feedback on our Instagram and blog work and being inspired by their work.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://cms.studyinsweden.se//app/uploads/2021/08/image_from_ios-1-1024x768.jpg" alt="Team presentation" class="wp-image-35468"/><figcaption>A team presentation. Photo: Study in Sweden</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-si-study-tsw-tsw-paragraph standard">We also had opportunities to reflect on our DA journey in between these sessions. These are my favourite activities in the meet-ups as we could come up with new ideas of blog posts and Instagram campaigns when discussing. This showed the team effort to improve our content quality to bring the best experiences of Study in Sweden to prospective students.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-si-study-tsw-tsw-heading">Sharing and Inspiration</h2>



<p class="wp-block-si-study-tsw-tsw-paragraph standard">And last but not least, now you may know which kind of work a Study in Sweden DA would do, and while exploring and documenting your life in Sweden in your own way by being a Study in Sweden DA, you can also inspire and share your experiences with others. This is one of the best things, in my opinion, being a Study in Sweden DA.</p>



<p class="wp-block-si-study-tsw-tsw-paragraph standard">When starting my DA journey, I have kept wondering if I was good enough. And then I received encouraging and thank you messages from Study in Sweden Instagram followers and also comments on my blog posts. It’s when I know my work may impact, inspire and change someone’s life.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://cms.studyinsweden.se//app/uploads/2021/08/Screen-Shot-2021-06-16-at-5.30.08-PM-1024x561.png" alt="" class="wp-image-35469"/><figcaption>A big thank you from me to all of my colleagues and followers &lt;3. Photo: Nguyen</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-si-study-tsw-tsw-paragraph standard">Being the Digital Ambassador of Study in Sweden is one of the best highlights of my Sweden journey. I have had the best colleagues and managers that I could ask for, and the wonderful opportunities to learn and grow my writing and photography skills. I was able to connect with people all around the world and share my experience of studying and living in Sweden. My life in Sweden has been fulfilled with this role, and I hope you will too.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-si-study-tsw-tsw-heading">Tips for Digital Ambassador </h2>



<ol><li>Preparing the required documents as soon as possible: There are a number of documents and posts that you need to prepare including CV, letters, sample of work, etc. Thus, trying to prepare these documents early will save you a lot of time before the deadline.</li><li>BE YOURSELF and TELL YOUR OWN STORY: Everyone has their own interesting stories of why you chose Sweden and came here to study. So just be yourself and let your own words telling your own stories.</li><li>If you have any drawings or illustrations or videos that are related to your journey to Sweden, feel free to show them in your applications. ;) </li></ol>
