International/Cultural relationsGeneral Information
International Volunteering Service (SVI) is a Belgian pluralistic youth organization run by and for young people, by and for volunteers. Apolitical and non-religious, SVI is opened to all and everyone, without discrimination of nationality, philosophy, financial resources, education or sexual orientation. SVI is registered in Belgium as a non-profit organization. The association mainly works in the field of international volunteering, but also in the areas of youth exchanges and intercultural exchanges between young Europeans and the rest of the world.Mission and Objectives
The organization aims at generating young people interest (from 18 to 30 years old) in international volunteerism. One of its goals is also to promote citizenship, solidarity and mobility among young European as well as between young European and young people from other parts of the world. SVI tries to make international volunteering accessible to all and to raise awareness about the danger and misleading role of humanitarian tourism (voluntourism).Main Projects / Activities
Every year, our association sends about 500 volunteers to international workcamps. We suggest them a wide range of projects (environmental, social or cultural) located in more than 70 countries around the world. We aim at making our projects accessible to all, regardless of their age, financial resources or skills. Volunteers who take part to those projects have the opportunity to live with a local community, to discover the association world and to get involved in a project with other volunteers coming from all over the world and to live together a rewarding experience. Every year also, our association host about 100 volunteers on our short and long term projects in Belgium. All our hosting projects are completly free of charge for the volunteers member of a partner organization.
