In an international voluntary project, you will work for 30 to 40 hours a week in a group of approximately 30 volunteers aged 16 to 25 for two to four weeks. You will be doing manual chores or organizing social events. You may also choose a themed youth meeting, where you will be working part-time, studying part-time.
