School holidays in Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America
The school holidays in African or Asian countries are often not regulated in the way you are used to in Germany, Austria or Switzerland. That means there are no fixed or regular times.
Be flexible!
Sometimes vacation times are set, which can then change at short notice. So be prepared and flexible! If the case occurs, your on-site team will arrange an alternative program. Wildlife and medical projects as well as internships are usually not affected.
Please note: In most schools there are no regular classes in the last two weeks before the holidays because the students are writing exams during this period.
The Christmas days are something special despite the holidays! Together with other volunteers, this time often offers the opportunity to experience the culture in a particularly authentic way in a festive atmosphere.
