Introduction Video – Guidelines

Purpose of the video

The goal is to get to know who you are, how you communicate, and what motivates you to become a BGE Pannonia Ambassador. This should be a relaxed yet well-thought-out introduction - it does not have to be perfect, but it should reflect your personality and enthusiasm.

Structure of the Video

Part 1 (max. 30 seconds)
Introduction - what should we know about you?

Part 2 (max. 90 seconds)
Presentation of your Pannonia mobility experience:

• Which country and city you visited
• Share photos and stories (storytelling)
• Highlight a great experience or something that surprised you
• Mention a cultural difference compared to your home country
• What is one key thing you learned and brought back with you?

Video Length

Maximum 2 minutes

What should you include in your video?

• Your name, field of study (faculty, programme), and your mobility destination.
  (e.g. “Hi, I’m Marta Minta, a student of Commerce and Marketing, and I studied in Italy through the Pannonia Scholarship Programme.”)
• Why did you apply to become a BGE Pannonia Ambassador?
• What kind of content do you plan to create?
  (e.g. student life, travel, culture, challenges – from what perspective would you present these?)
• What social media experience do you have?
  (Is there a platform you particularly like or use? e.g. TikTok, Instagram, YouTube – it’s completely fine if you don’t have a large following!)
• What personal qualities make you suitable for this role?
  (e.g. enthusiasm, creativity, sense of humor, attention to quality, confidence in front of the camera, etc.)

Additional tips for applicants

• Don’t read from a script – speak naturally, as if you were talking to your audience
• Smile and be yourself – this is not an exam, but an opportunity
• If you make a mistake, you don’t necessarily need to re-record – authenticity matters
• If you prefer, you can upload your video to YouTube or Google Drive and share the link
