Work-Travel Opportunities in China

How to get a free and funded place on a work-travel project in China and earn a funded TEFL.  Many organisations charge high fees to students and travellers to join work-travel and summer camp opportunities abroad. Gotoco is trying to revolutionise the industry and offer projects for free, with funding, and support on further external funding. In this seminar, we will look at the options for funded programs and how to secure your place today.

From the field: Tales of international cooperation & solidarity

Doing an internship or volunteering abroad means immersing yourself in a new culture, collaborating on a local project, developing new professional and personal skills, and learning. But before leaving to support an organization in a "Southern" country, what questions can we ask? What is your daily life overseas? And when you return, how can you act as a citizen of the world? Meet people returning from 2- and 6-month international cooperation internships (in Senegal and Nicaragua) and de-mystify these questions that arise from international experiences.
