Explore volunteer projects, cultural exchanges and articles where Holi is genuinely part of the experience. This may include projects that organise or take part in Holi celebrations, seasonal programmes scheduled around the festival, or opportunities where volunteers are explicitly invited to experience the celebration with the host community.
What is Holi? 🎨🌸
Holi is a Hindu spring festival widely celebrated in India and in other communities around the world. Traditions vary by region, but celebrations commonly include coloured powders and water, music, food and gatherings. In many places Holika Dahan is observed on the previous evening, while other traditions emphasise stories connected with Radha and Krishna.
What belongs on this page?
A project should appear here when Holi is specifically connected with the volunteer programme, host experience or subject of the article. Being located in India, Nepal or another place where Holi is celebrated is not enough on its own.
