Videos
On this page you will find all the videos we have made in this project. The videos are made with volunteers and professionals from Germany and The Netherlands. Therefore both Dutch and German is spoken in the videos. We have provided each video with subtitles. You can turn on the subtitles on the bottom right using the CC button.
In the videos you will meet both more experienced volunteers as well as volunteers that are just starting out. The professoinals in the videos have a lot of experience with working with volunteers. Through these videos you will get a good idea what volunteering can bring you in the long run and what you need as a professional to support them!
