Applicants will be interviewed via Zoom / Skype / WhatsApp before being confirmed.
🤝 Meeting point
Volunteers should fly to Izmir Airport on the first day of the camp but should land before 17.00 as the camp leader will meet everyone and transfer them altogether to the campsite at 17.00. On the last day of the camp all participants will be transferred to the airport after breakfast. So the return flight must be arranged for the afternoon.
