| Linking Cultures Motivation, respect for foreign cultures, idealism and the ability to adapt to new situations are the most important skills for volunteers in Indonesia. We welcome the enthusiastic young as well as people with a long experience in life and work.
During their service, volunteers will get to know a foreign culture and establish links to their own way of life. Thus a mutual respect and understanding of complex social and ecological contexts will arise.
|
Volunteers can work in different fields of our projects. We take great care in placing volunteers where they can develop their skills and use their knowledge as best as possible and according to their wish. Every volunteer is accompanied throughout his service by a local partner, his counterpart. Thus we allow both sides to get an insight in each others culture on a personal level. All participants shall benefit from the mutual exchange of knowledge and experience as well as the learning of professional skills.
