    🌍 Global Volunteer Program in Africa or Asia - Training & International Placement

    Humana People to People's International Volunteer Program is a unique 10-month experience for people who want to learn, grow, and contribute to meaningful, long-term development projects. Through a combination of training, international volunteer service, and reflection, you will gain practical skills, intercultural experience, and a deeper understanding of global challenges and solutions.

    What Awaits You

    As an international volunteer, you will support community-based development initiatives in the areas of:

    • Education
    • Health and health education
    • Community development
    • Sustainable agriculture and environmental protection

    Working alongside local communities and project teams, you will contribute to initiatives that achieve lasting impact while developing valuable personal and professional skills.

    Program Structure

    Phase 1: Training in Denmark (3 months)

    Begin your journey with intensive training in Denmark. Together with other international volunteers, you will explore topics such as:

    • Global inequalities and sustainable development
    • International cooperation and development work
    • Culture, civic engagement, and project preparation

    • Zambia
    • Guinea-Bissau

    You will work directly with local communities and project teams, contributing to sustainable initiatives while gaining hands-on experience in international development work.

    Phase 3: Reflection & Evaluation in Denmark (1 month)

    Return to Denmark to reflect on your experiences, evaluate your learning process, and share the insights you gained abroad. This final phase helps transform your experience into long-term personal and social impact.
