What challenge inspired this recipe?
Meeting people outside the organization and the volunteer’s circle can be difficult.
Two volunteers really insist on how nice it was to have a personal activity (here climbing & hiking) outside the community of volunteers & project to make local friends and feel integrated.
Ingredients :
Motivation and time, good access to the city’s information, guide for volunteers made by previous volunteers (Example HERE
Step by step guide
Listing affordable and easy activities the volunteers can make year-long : sports’ clubs, leisure activities organizations, etc.. in the area, enabling them to met local people on their own.
Find the ‘sports city guide’ to provide them.
Important to highlight!Having a short testimony and promotion from a previous volunteer could be nice as well. |
Before you start cooking, keep in mind…
It can be challenging having it updated and ‘promoting’ it regularly to the volunteers so they feel like trying even if they don’t speak really well the language etc.
