📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
During the ESC voluntary period, volunteers will focus on learning the differences in society regarding this work field. Next to that, they will try to motivate local youngsters as well as clients from the organizations to participate in national and international projects, such as youth exchanges and training courses. Also, they will learn how to improve the conditions in their own country, step by step, after going back home. They will be actively involved in the different activities of Elke Gastheerschap⁺, on local and regional level. The volunteers will also attend Dutch classes for foreigners (online).

The volunteer will receive € 5,- per day as volunteer’s allowance (pocket money). The volunteer will also receive € 100,- every month for food purchases and hygiene products (if the volunteer is working, food will be supplied).
