What to expect from a Project

In an international project, you live and work together with a group of international volunteers in a local community or organisation abroad. Work will be done together to everybody’s possibilities and capabilities. Since you are part of an International group of volunteers, you have the possibility of in-depth intercultural exchange by working together towards a common goal and solving problems together.

Before the project starts, we offer a preparation day so you can get to know VIA and what you can expect from a project. The international group is led by one or two camp leaders, who prepare the project and who know the local people you are working with. From the local community, you will learn a lot about the location of your project in a different way than just simply being a tourist. Projects are hands-on experiences, that require you to take initiative, be active and willing to learn from others. This time also gives you the opportunity to share your strengths with others and be part of an enriching community experience. VIA stands for Community.

The length of volunteer projects ranges anything from two days to three weeks, depending on where it is located and what the nature of the project is.

You work no more than 6 hours a day on average. Thus, you will also have enough free time to discover the area or and engage in fun, group bonding experiences in a place you call home for that time. Before the project starts, we offer a preparation day so you can get to know VIA and what you can expect during your time with us.
