AIA steht für „Active in Asia“. Die AIA-Programme
sind gut betreute Einstiegsprogramme für alle, die
erstmals einen kurzzeitigen Freiwilligendienst in
einer fremden Kultur planen. Ideal sind 1-3 Monate
(für langfristigere Einsätze siehe ICYE!). Den Einsatz
verrichtest Du in Deinem Projekt zumeist mit
anderen internationalen Volunteers, die Unterbringung erfolgt in Gemeinschaftsunterkünften.
AIA beruht auf Programm-Modulen: Jedes Partnerland hat eine Auswahl an interessanten Tätigkeiten
und ergänzenden Kursen, die Du selbst wochenweise zusammenstellen kannst. Du kannst auf diese
Art auch mehrere Länder kombinieren!
