Just found this information on the SCI International twitter tweet stream uhm thingy thing:)

If you ever thought about travelling somewhere else and participating for a few months or a whole year in local projects there, gaining experience and working within the SCI family, here might just be your chance :D

To shortly cite the SCI LTEG group on what LTV is about:

What is LTV?

LTV stands for Long Term Volunteering project, which is an exchange of volunteers between SCI branches (and/or partner organizations), where volunteer commits to the project for longer than 1 month. It is open to any volunteer without a limit of age or any other. There is wide variety of projects and you can have a taste of it by taking a look at the Vacancies List here.

All the projects are non-profit and do not aim to replace paid labour in the organization.

Meeting at the Council of Europe on Volunteering and Peace in Budapest started – three branches of SCI exchanging ideas with many other volunteering and peace organisations started discussing about the connection between volunteering and peace.
