Jamboree Information

 

Jamboree

The University has excellent facilities for the development of the Jamboree and for the commodity of our guests. For more info about the University check out this site and the Travel page of this Wiki

Regarding Teams

The Organization Committee will give a Team Box to each team, its contents are:

1. Team member badges for each member of the Team. The badges should be worn all times during the Jamboree, so we can get to know each other and we can identify you for guidance, entrance in the presentation rooms and access to foods, dinners and parties!

2. A booklet for each team member containing Jamboree Handbook, program schedule, map of the University Campus, information about public transport in Bogotá and sponsor information will be handed to each member of the team.

Show your Team!

We encourage you to create a unique t-shirt that shows your team spirit! Use colors, drawings, themes, everything you want to create your team identity and to show your uniqueness to the other participants! Of course, use your sponsors and show who supported you!
