INEX-SDA is a non-governmental, not-for-profit organisation founded in 1991 to carry out and support international voluntary service and intercultural education. By organising international voluntary projects, educational programmes and campaigns we aim at:
1. assisting the development of a tolerant and open-minded society,
2. encouraging an active and responsible approach to the world around us both locally and globally.

INEX-SDA Prague main activities include:
1. Sending Czech volunteers abroad to short term international voluntary projects (called workcamps) and mid- and long-term voluntary projects (about 500 per year);
2. Hosting volunteers of our partner organisations from abroad (about 340) and the Czech Republic at 30-35 short-term workcamps organised in the Czech Republic;
3. Sending Czech volunteers to short and long-term EVS/ESC projects abroad (about 15 people per year) and hosting 2 volunteers in our office within the Erasmus+ programme European Voluntary Service and European Solidarity Corps (ESC);
4. Preparing and running projects in the field of Global Education, Inclusion and Non-Formal education (e.g. GLEN, Football for Development, Global Volunteering Cycle, Agents of Change);
5. Promotion of volunteering and its contribution to the personal development of the volunteers (in schools, at conferences, in international networks, publishing materials);
6. Organizing and hosting seminars and trainings related to the theme of volunteering and Global Education (trainings for workcamp leaders, trainings for trainers, evaluation meetings for volunteers, seminars on Global Education issues, preparatory seminars for volunteers going to "Global South");
7. Running INEXup programme which is a space for volunteers to turn their ideas into practice and create their own projects.

In general, our projects are open to all people interested in participating, even though certain requirements might be given by a partner or donor of a specific programme or project. Most volunteers and participants in our projects are people between 18-26 years old but we are open to all age groups and backgrounds.
