Pre-departure stage
Before your placement you will be given pre-departure training. Learning opportunities are integrated at every stage of the volunteer journey. We provide training and learning support to you in addressing the following inter-linked learning needs:
personal learning needs (for example, adapting to living and working in a new culture, attitudes, ethics and language training).
development learning needs (for example, HIV and AIDS as a development issue, gender, Millennium Development Goals, globalization).
professional learning needs (for example, training skills, program development and motorcycle training).
Travel preparation stage
Once you are accepted on a placement, we will begin to process the travel papers. By this time, you will have submitted all key documents such as a machine-readable passport (valid for at least three years), a birth certificate on NSO paper, diploma and professional certification. You may be asked to produce additional documents depending on the country and professional field of your placement.
You will be given a final briefing shortly before your departure date.
