VAP Training Programmes
Volunteer Action for Peace operates two training programmes, one for the preparation of UK volunteer project co-ordinators and one for volunteers who are going to participate in projects included in our North-South Programme. To run these two programmes VAP has a working group of volunteer trainers. If you would like to learn how to become a trainer VAP offers to train members into highly experienced trainers with a wide range of different skills.
The UK Project Co-ordinator Training Programme
The training programme for project co-ordinators trains volunteers how to manage up to three week international volunteer projects, also known as “workcamps”, that are held in the UK each year. The participants learn how to prepare the project with the local community, organisation, hosting and sponsoring the project.
The North-South Training Programme
The North-South Training Programme is designed for volunteers living in the UK who have been placed on international volunteer projects in the “South” which is what we call countries in Africa, Latin America and Asia (except for Japan, South Korea and Taiwan).
