Japan

Vermittlungsgebühr für längere Projekte 180 EUR (+ extra fee)

Flagge Japan
In Japan arbeiten wir seit langem mit der 1991 gegründeten Organisation NICE (= Never-ending International Volunteer Exchange) zusammen, die neben Workcamps auch längere Freiwilligenprojekte  in Japan organisieren. Die Projekte zeichnen sich durch sorgfältige Vorbereitung und hervorragende Betreuung aus.

Für alle längeren Projekte wird vor Ort ein mehrtägiges Vor- und Nachbereitungsseminar von NICE veranstaltet. Die Teilnahme ist für alle Freiwilligen verpflichtend.
Vor Ort wird eine Extra-Gebühr von 10.000 Yen (ca. 80 €) pro Monat fällig, die an NICE zu Beginn des Projektes gezahlt werden muss.
Auf Anfrage kann die Projektdauer bzw. das Datum der Projekte variiert werden.

Für alle Projekte ist ein Motivation Letter erforderlich!
