Volunteers will do different activities: 1° Organizing an English Speaking Club and, if they want, in their own language; 2° Creating social media content for AGESDER’s English learning Instagram account; 3° Preparing their own activities in any area that they are interested in (arts and culture, sustainable development, work life, book or movie club, …) Project Duration: 58 days Travel Time : 2 days Total : 60 days

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.
