Zhrnutie čo robí organizácia a čo bolo náplňou dobrovoľníckeho projektu:

Olde Vechte is a training centre and group accommodation that is hosting all kinds of guests: families and groups, as well as its own programs (trainings, exchanges, etc.). Being a volunteer at and for Olde Vechte, you are becoming a part of the team of this organization. This brings a specific attitude as well as specific duties that are there to be fulfilled. The general attitude respects the privacy of the guests and supports the goal of the specific program running. The role of the team is to support the guests in create a healthy environment for them in with their activity can take place. Respect and privacy are also there for your Olde Vechte team members. Conflicts between team members are discussed in a respectful way and not in the presents of our guests. All team members come from a big variation of cultural habits and backgrounds therefore misunderstanding and miscommunication are daily part of our reality at Olde Vechte. Essential and important part of your volunteering placement is to learn how to work, live and learn in this international team and a Dutch foundation and his culture/context; where culture, habits, and values are different than where you come from.
