Cultural Exchange 🧑🏾‍🤝‍🧑🏻

Free accommodation for English speakers in Vietnam volunteer in Vietnam, english school in Vietnam, teach English in Vietnam

On this page, you can find volunteering opportunities that promote cultural exchange everywhere around the world.

What is an inter cultural exchange?

Cultural exchange projects promote mobility and intercultural learning through socio-cultural activities between groups of people from different countries.

By meeting other cultures and realities, travellers and volunteers can learn from each other. They can discover similarities and differences between their cultures and their formations, as well as acquire notions and useful information to enrich their cultural background.

This type of experience serves to eliminate negative prejudices and stereotypes that often occur towards other cultures and provides dialogue and open confrontation between all participants as a basic tool.

In an exchange initiative, groups of travellers and volunteers from different contexts have the opportunity to meet, discuss different topics, as well as to acquire knowledge about their respective countries. Cultural exchanges offer groups of people the opportunity to plan their exchange based on a theme of common interest.

How to use this page

To make the most of this page, start by browsing through the listings that capture your interest. Take your time to thoroughly review the description of each volunteer project to understand what it entails. Once you find a project that aligns with your interests and availability, reach out to the organizers by utilizing the contact information provided in the ‘CONTACT DETAILS’ section at the end of each listing. Be mindful that some opportunities may have expired, so always verify the dates listed. For good measure, it’s wise to inquire directly with the hosts to confirm whether the cultural exchange project is still open for participation.
