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. This involves practical questions like accommodation, logistics and planning. They also learn the practical interpersonal skills of group dynamics, intercultural learning, motivation, collective decision making and active delegation.
The project co-ordinators share the daily life and work of the international volunteers for two to three weeks supported by the local community, the VAP staff and an assigned mentor to assist with problems.
The co-ordinators participate in the project for free and travel expenses to and from the project are paid by VAP. Co-ordinators who submit the completed written report are given the option of a free placement on any VAP project overseas with one of our international partners.
In 2011 VAP will organise this event near Darlington during the weekend of 10-12 June. If you are interested in applying for it, please contact us by email.
