“We believe that education plays a fundamental role when striving for peace and development. Education is a human right. In our training courses, we use the Non Formal Education (NFE) method – meant to be participatory and accessible to everyone. Through dialogue and intercultural exchange, we can promote a critical understanding of the world and changes in our society.“
SCI Team
During our pre-departure trainings you will learn more about our volunteer engagement, the workcamps and long-term work. Moreover, you will also get to know our values and goals. We deal with challenges in international workcamps or long-term assignments and will offer you various workshops on topics such as interculturality, conflict resolution, non-violent communication, group dynamics, cultural prejudices / stereotypes, racism, colonialism, gender and much more. In addition, volunteers will report on their experience in the field, and will give you valuable tips.
Due to the current situation with COVID-19, we are not sure how and to what extent it’s possible to place volunteers in our projects. Also due to the current measures, it is not sure whether our trainings can take place as planned. But here are the next upcoming dates:
- 01/02 May 2021 (online, Zoom)
- 26/27 June 2021 (Yverdon-les-Bains VD)
