  28. A Volunteer - Overview

  29. A VolunteerExperience by Joost de Neef The students run their own enterprise; we, as volunteers, give them support and advice. We do not run their business. For sure we can do it better, but they have to learn by doing. Make the goal realistic , so they can reach it. Make clear appointments; when to meet ( for instance every 1st and 3rd Monday of the month) tape of meeting (in person during a meeting, by mail, by conference meeting, etc.). We all have an agenda. Structure gives an overview. State what the students can expect from you and vice versa. 

  30. A VolunteerExperience by Joost de Neef The team has its own responsibility, it is their enterprise. We want them to also learn from their mistakes. We, as volunteers, sit in the back of their car, while they are at the wheel. When they are about to get into a serious accident, we ask them: „Would it not be better to turn left (or right, if you will)?“ We do not run their business; we do not write their business plan, etc. We support, give suggestions, help them out with contacts, etc. We, too, like to see them succeed (sometimes too much). However, its 90 % their creativity, energy, etc.. We bring the rest. And it stays their success.

  41. TMF Café ConceptStudents • Students from several companies come prepared for the topic and for the area of expertise TMF experts offer at the café. They are able to briefly present their company and a challenge related to them participating in the trade fair. • Divide into three groups • Each group visits one TMF expert at his/her stand • After 30 minutes the groups rotate

  42. TMF Café ConceptTMF • Three experts on the topic – sit at their desk (representing stand) ready to host students and provide advice to help them overcome their challenges. • Experts listen to the brief presentation of the challenges the companies face (there maybe students from more than one company at the stand at the same time). • One (or more) facilitator – takes care of the logistics and rotation of the teams at the stands. • At the end, the experts summarize the discussions for the entire audience and invite the students to discuss how the café supported them in overcoming their challenges
