Pre-departure training

Take part in the next pre-departure training (3-4 June)!

We are happy to have you on board as a participant for our pre-departure training from Saturday, 3rd of June until Sunday, 4th of June 2023!
This seminar is directed at all volunteers, incl. workcamp participants, especially workcamp coordinators and long-term volunteers.

ABOUT THE TRAINING

With this pre-departure training at SCI, we want to distribute volunteers and campcoordinators with an in-depth preparation for their intercultural volunteering experience, whether it is a workcamp in Switzerland or abroad, a long-term project or EVS program.

In general, we will provide different energizers and workshops about interculturality, stereotypes/prejudices, SCI history, peacebuilding, conflict resolution, power mechanisms, gender roles, micro-aggressions, etc. There will be specific workshops for campcoordinators and long-term volunteers to prepare you for your role, possible challenges and tasks.

As in every SCI seminar or training, you will also meet nice people and be able to enjoy a big group of passionate volunteers in a real SCI atmosphere, which is supposed to give you a taste of what you will be promoting afterwards.

The working language of the training is English, so free command of the language is necessary in order for you to benefit most from the content of the training. Of course, questions can also be asked in either German or French if it’s easier for the person asking the question.
