Volunteer Pre-departure workshop June 2010
On Saturday the 19th of June, 30 new outgoing volunteers participated in the EIL pre-departure workshop.
The volunteers were welcomed by Maria and Louise, past volunteers in Mexico and Guatemala, and EIL staff, Anton and Caterina.
During the workshop the volunteers had the opportunity to increase their knowledge and understanding of the interconnectedness of the world locally and globally . The workshop also included contributions from returned volunteers (Marie, Louise and Aedin) sharing their experiences on living with a host family and how to deal with culture shock and other fun activities that helped prepare participants for their programmes.
The EIL staff wish you all good luck with your project!
