The ASC 46 is coordinating the weltwärts South-North program and BFD Incoming.

Both programs are meant to open chances for us to learn from each other. Your citizenship and country of permanent residence are important factors in determining which program is eligible. BFD Incoming is a program for all nations worldwide. Where as weltwärts has a strong link to development cooperation and therefor to our partnering countries and organisations of the Global South.

BFD Incoming and weltwärts South- North are not independent voluntary services. They are integrated in the German standard voluntary services (BFD) which gives us the chance to be well recognized in Germany. The major difference is in countrys from which weltwärts volunteers are able to join the service in Germany. The focus of weltwärts is on developing strong and sustainable partnerships between organisations. It therefore requires a partnering organisation in your home country which must be involved to prepare and assist you, the volunteer.

We support the vision of sustainable partnerships between organisations and the people involved. If you can imagine to cooperate with that ideal then read about the requirement and conditions below and see if you find yourself.
