Welcome
WITH A HEART FOR PEOPLE,
We believe that the long-term voluntary service abroad is a unique opportunity in every person’s life to learn more about themselves, other people and God.
We believe that volunteering in a different country is an enriching experience to gain a new perspective about people, culture, religion and country.
We believe that volunteering challenges values, norms and attitudes and can change both people and communities.
We stimulate enthusiasm for personal, professional and spiritual growth among all those who participate in our programmes.
We cherish and foster social, intercultural and social-political understanding.
Since 2005 we have exchanged more than 300 volunteers. We join together with others within the European Union, including Poland, Spain, Hungary, Portugal, Germany as well as with other countries world-wide, including Tanzania, Israel, Russia, Georgia, Armenia, Ukraine, Turkey and the USA.
Our vision is to make a dream come true for and with those whose heart is beating for life in joy, justice and dignity whilst transforming own and other people’s lives.
You are invited to the adventure of a journey with us in interVIA!
interVIA, with a heart for people, we are on the way, is a programme of Silesian Diaconia, which is one of the biggest social service providers in the Czech Republic.
