The “Badge of Trust” by COACH ABROAD

The Badge of Trust in bronze, silver or gold is designed to ensure the success of each placement, for both the volunteer and the project.

Teamwork, respect, responsibility, health – the positive effects of sport

Sport and physical activity promote physical, mental and emotional development and social inclusion. It reinforces values and behaviours such as fairness, respect, team spirit and discipline. Particularly for girls and marginalised groups, sport breaks down barriers and contributes to integration and positive social change, especially in disadvantaged areas.

The “white saviour complex” in volunteering

White saviourism is a toxic phenomenon in volunteering, where privileged individuals, often from the Global North, present themselves as heroes to those in the Global South.

Overcoming the challenge of dependency

How can volunteers provide sustainable support for social development projects and avoid long-term dependency by helping people to help themselves, working in partnership, strengthening local skills and boosting the local economy?
