2024 IWO KOREA

International Exchange Program – Connect People and Community

 

Introduction about IWO

IWO is a non-profit and non-governmental organization established in 1999 to promote world peace, global citizenship, youth and community development, and cultural exchange through international voluntary service. We had been an Executive committee member of CCIVS (Coordinating Committee for International Voluntary Service) at UNESCO Paris, and are a member of NVDA (Network for Voluntary Development in Asia), and a member of Alliance (Alliance of European voluntary service organizations).

 

General conditions of projects

All projects cooperate with local NGOs, local governments, civil society and local volunteers. The locals are pleased with and welcome the international volunteers who have the different cultural, social and educational backgrounds.

 

Short Term Volunteer Projects (Workcamps)

 

1) Number of Volunteers & Duration

  • IWO hosts 10-25 volunteers on each workcamp. Each project will have 4-10 Korean participants (Including 1~2 Korean camp leaders) and 10-25 international participants.
  • The number of volunteers may alter depending on each project.
  • Duration of the project is 7 to 12 days.

 

2) Project Coordinator

Each project has 1~2 camp leaders who have been trained by IWO. They will coordinate the group to achieve the goals of each project. And, the Korean participants also prepare for the project with IWO before the international participants arrive in Korea.

 

3) Accommodation & Food

  • Meals and accommodation are provided during the project
  • Rooms will be shared among participants and sleep on the floor with a mattress (Based on Korean culture)
  • However, participants may have to cook by themselves on some project sites.
  • Participants are responsible for keeping the accommodation clean during the project at all times because there will be locals visiting the project sites often
  •  If volunteers have a unique dietary requirement, they should inform them in advance and they have to prepare for themselves in case the local can’t support them.

 

4) Free Time

Participants are responsible for organizing their own free time with the camp leaders during free days. Host organizations will share information about local attractions with the participants.

 

5) Insurance

  • IWO provides insurance for accidents during the project only. (No dental clinic, illness, 3rd party’s liability compensation). It covers only a percentage of the cost (co-pay) at a maximum 40% as per the insurance regulation for foreigners in KOREA.
  • Therefore, participants MUST bring their insurance for health, travel and the 3rd  party’s liability compensation.

 

6) Transportation

  • Korea has a convenient public transportation network over the country; therefore, all participants are advised to arrive at Incheon International Airport regardless of the location of their project site.
  • By taking a subway and an airport bus, participants can conveniently arrive from the airport to Seoul. There are many convenient public transportation systems from Seoul to each project site.

 

7) Participation fee
