In 1994, a group of Belgian travelers met to share experiences from the road. They worried about the negative impact of mass tourism on the environment and local people, and shared ideas of sustainable tourism respectful of nature and culture. The dream to set up cafes around the world to implement their ideas developed. The first ViaVia opened in 1995. Today the ViaVia family stretches across 18 establishments in 4 continents. There is no such thing as a McViaVia with fries. Instead ViaVia offers the best of the worlds kitchen and local delicacies. When ViaVia in Argentina offers Tango lessons, ViaVia in Jogja offers trips to immerse in a culture of a Javanese village, city walks or a taste of traditional medicine.

Need funding?
If you’re looking for a way to fund your study abroad, there are a range of funding options available to students.
One of these initiatives is the New Colombo Plan Mobility Program which is funded by the Australian Government. This initiative aims to increase knowledge of the Indo-Pacific in Australia by empowering undergraduate students like yourself to study, learn, and complete placements in stunning places like Indonesia. There are grants ranging from $3,000 to $10,000.
If you find yourself eligible for the New Colombo Plan funding, you can use it for our science and agriculture programs. Depending on your state and university, you may be eligible for other types of funding that can be used when you study abroad with us.
See if you’re eligible for the New Colombo Plan today, or explore other funding options.
I thoroughly enjoyed the program and would recommend it to anyone. I felt fully supported throughout the practicum and it was well planned… It is programs like these that help you form lasting bonds and help build the relationship between Australia and Indonesia.
I love learning about and immersing myself into new cultures. There were so many things I loved about visiting Indonesia but most prominently was just how friendly people were. Everyone was so willing to help out wherever we went, whether it be a restaurant, a temple, in a taxi, or even walking about on the streets.
If you’re interested in working in an international context at all – there’s no reason you shouldn’t do this program if you can. Indonesia is so strategically and geographically important, that you can’t help but generate professional capital while here, you also don’t know what kind of connections and work you might generate.

The most rewarding part about this experience has been seeing how fast and far I have progressed with my language skills. With such an intensive and immersive course you see results so fast as you are learning so much every day. This is super rewarding and serves as a great motivation to keep learning as you reap the rewards that knowing language brings.

Through the ACICIS program, I was able to learn about Indonesian culture and appreciate the issues in the Indo-Pacific region – while also being financially supported. Without such support from the New Colombo Plan (NCP) Grant, it is likely I would be unable to participate in this program.
