PROJECT > Samgori Youth Centre

During our volunteer project in Tbilisi, we will be working at Samgori Youth Centre, a place where young people can discover their talents, develop new skills, meet friends and explore new opportunities.

The centre has recently been renovated and offers fantastic facilities, including a judo studio, gym, creative arts rooms and a media library. However, a beautiful building alone does not make a vibrant youth centre. What it still needs is more youth spirit, creativity, energy and a sense of belonging! And that's where YOU come in!

A place full of potential

INSURANCE

Accidents can happen when you least expect them. That is why all participants are insured for medical expenses through Stichting Out of Area. You can find the terms and conditions of our accident insurance on www.outofarea.nl.

Please note! Damage to personal belongings, such as bags and mobile phones, is not covered by our insurance. If you wish to insure these items, you can take out additional travel insurance.

TRAVELLING WITH MEDICATION

If you are travelling with medication that falls under the Dutch Opium Act, you must obtain a Schengen certificate or an English-language medical certificate, depending on your destination.

Examples of controlled medication include sleeping pills, strong painkillers, ADHD medication and medicinal cannabis.

A medication passport provides an overview of the medicines you use and can be helpful if you need to visit a pharmacy or doctor abroad. However, it does not replace an official medical certificate.

For more information about travelling abroad with medication, please visit the Dutch government's website:
