Do you want to become an Inspirator?

MS ActionAid Denmark is right now launching a new personnel category called Inspirators. Inspirators are cross-national placement of development practitioners with significant hands on experience from development work in developing or newly industrialised countries. We are therefore looking for dedicated individuals, who would like to spend 3 to 9 months together with one of our many partner organisations in Africa, Asia, Central America and the Middle East.

Inspirators are volunteer placements. This means that you will not receive a formal salary, but you will have your travel expenses and accommodation covered. You will also receive a living allowance to cover your costs of living while abroad and 350€ to cover some of the expenses you may have in your home country while abroad. Please, be aware that all allowances and subsidies are subject to local tax!

Why become and Inspirator?
Inspirator placements offer an excellent opportunity to learn and to share experiences across national borders and cultures with likeminded organisations. It is a chance to get international work experience and not least to grow as a human being.
