Has a memory of a significant meeting during an international volunteering period stuck with you? Enter the photography contest to win movie tickets!
Maailmanvaihto has its 60th anniversary this year. Over the course of years we have worked for advancing intercultural understanding. When we nowadays send and receive young adults for international volunteering periods, the core aims in our activities are still promoting meaningful meetings and co-operation that help to create a deeper understanding between people.
To celebrate the anniversary, we are organizing a photography contest featuring significant meetings during international volunteering. You are welcome to enter the contest if you have participated in international volunteering activities as a volunteer, a host family or a support person for a volunteer or a member of a work community which received a volunteer.
Participate by April 15, 2018 by posting a photo by you on the theme on Instagram with #volunteeringfellowship and tagging @maailmanvaihto in it (NB! your account must be public). You can participate with a picture of a joint activity or some other nice shared moment with someone. Let’s come together to make visible the connections and co-operation!
Attach a short text describing the photo. You can also send the photo to us at harjoittelija@maailmanvaihto.fi. Two randomly selected participants will win 2 movie tickets!
Also, remember to follow Maailmanvaihto on Instagram!
