Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Accommodation, food and transport will be covered by the project. The working conditions of the volunteers are the same as those of our staff, so we can guarantee a safe working environment with a kitchen and a bathroom. Volunteers will stay in an apartment located about 15 minutes by bus from the office. We also have good medical care in Niğde and our association is working on this issue. In order to prevent crises and problems, we will strive to maintain good communication with the volunteer and their sending organization.
Training during the activity
Pre-departure training will be provided by supporter organizations. On-arrival training will be provided by hosting organization. Volunteers will participate in a preparatory training (online) before leaving for the destination and after arrival in an introductory training, aimed at familiarizing with the facility, organizational matters, volunteer tasks and dealing with potential crisis situations. Upon arrival, a contract between the volunteer and the organisation will be signed. This document specifies the conditions of the project as well as the rights and obligations of the volunteer.
