Volunteering Experiment Switzerland
Welcome to Swiss volunteer services!
Willkommen beim Freiwilligendienst Experiment Switzerland!
Bienvenu(e) au service volontaire international!
Weltweitblick Experiment Switzerland presents volunteering projects in over 15 countries on four continents. We will help you to find the perfect project for you. We will take your personal and language skills, your professional background and your travel experiences into consideration. Longstanding contacts with our partners abroad help us to counsel you individually and find just the right project for you.
Switzerland is a multicultural and multilingual country in the heart of Europe. Sometimes, though, we feel like on an island. We consider this a chance and challenge: we want to give students, professionals, young people and grown ups alike the chance to leave this island temporarily and to meet the world and its people. Not as a tourist, but as a volunteer, in an active exchange with other nations, cultures and ways of life.

Strangers become friends
We want your volunteering to become an unforgettable experience. Everybody who carries enough cash can be a tourist. To go abroad as a volunteer means to travel responsibly. To work against the stereotype image of rich western tourists travelling around the world only never to arrive. As a volunteer, you have the chance to get to know a foreign country and its people from within: To dive into a strange culture, to immerse in unknown territory will make strangers turn into friends! Your intercultural exchange contributes to international understanding. You are not a passive onlooker but an active builder: You build up your own private United Nations!
One of the most important principles of the Federation of Experiment in International Living is: people of different nationalities and cultural backgrounds understand each other better when they share their daily life, their worries but also their happiness. You learn to understand why people are different on this planet, and you learn to accept it. It doesn't scare you anymore - like it still scares many people who are not in contact with foreigners. One of the central problems of our daily racism is just that: fear of strangers - xenophobia.
Weltweitblick Experiment Switzerland wants to foster intercultural exchange and peaceful togetherness. For this reason we offer volunteering projects on all continents.
The VIP Volunteers for International Partnership program is the well-proven volunteer program of the Federation EIL. Our volunteers are all over this world and actively help to make it just a little bit better. Some call it work and travel (though it is not working but volunteering). Some engage as a teaching assistant. Some help in an orphanage. Some do an internship in a hospital before going to medical school at home. For high school graduates, college students, young professionals and people of all ages who take an interest in the world past the rim of their national plate. And who receive a direct and authentic contact with an unknown country. From A like Argentina to T like Togo we offer you exciting and sustainable volunteering projects around the world.
In our Thirtyfive-Fifty-Plus Program we take special care of people who are no young students anymore but who are in the middle of their lifes. We try to provide you with in a higher standard accomodation (if possible single room) and better sanitary conditions. Please ask us to find you such a project placement. Our range of products is constantly growing.
