INEXup

Are you interested in volunteering and would you like to do something more? Do you dream about having your own project? Do you want to try to make it happen with the support of an experienced organization or are you attracted by the thought of being a part of a meaningful project already created by someone else? Would you like to be in contact with people with similar mind-set and keep developing your skills? If your answer is a resounding “YES!” to at least one of these questions, INEX is the perfect place for you.

It allows them to test the realization of their idea for a project in a safe environment and with the full support from both INEX and other volunteers from already existing projects. The programme is time limited and it is only up to you, if you want to try a one-time project during the programme or after finishing it you will go further with your project and it becomes a part of the INEX community where there is a constant cooperation between INEX and projects and among projects themselves.
