Volunteer services – Volunteers for International Partnership (vip)
Experiment e.V. offers the opportunity of participating in various international projects, by way of its volunteer scheme. The volunteers are engaged in support work for social or educational institutions, as well as for local environment protection organisations. Moreover, close contact with a host family means that you will be immersed in the local culture. If so desired, you will also be given the opportunity of attending a language course in order to learn the host language.
European Voluntary Service (EVS)
Via the European Voluntary Service (EVS), the European Union provides full scholarships for young Europeans, who will gain cross-cultural experience, thereby helping to form a common European consciousness by volunteering abroad. The Experiment e.V. is an EVS supported volunteer exchange organisation.
