What challenge inspired this recipe?
When volunteers live together in a house, they often welcome other ESC volunteers from their organization or other organizations.
Ingredients :
logistics: preparing the room and the bed, house cleaning, solving key problem
Step by step guide
- Common agreement
Informing the tutor so that he can ask all the volunteers of the house if they agree to welcome the volunteer and define the period of time, the room that will be available etc.. If one of the volunteers of the house doesn’t agree, it is better to cancel or to find another solution for accommodation - Informing the staff of the organization
When the volunteer is part of the organization (but doing his volunteering project in another town), it is good to inform the staff of the organization about the arrival of this volunteer (name, project, dates of his/her stay) so that he/she feels also welcomed - Little city tour: a program of activities and visits can be organized by one or several volunteers of the house and some time has to be dedicated to it
Important to highlight!This best practice was collected from a young volunteer who had welcomed another volunteer this way, and found that this was really a great way to proceed. |
Before you start cooking, keep in mind…
Getting the agreement of the household of volunteers and finding someone keen on organizing a program of city tour/ activities
Informing the staff of the organization about the guest volunteer
Dedicating a special time for volunteers to make him/her visit the town etc.
