Explore Mediterranean Europe: Join our international cultural exchange programme for free

I participated in 2 programs this summer and it was an incredible experience. I worked alongside some incredible professionals and met some amazing people and students. I would recommend that people give this a chance, it's a great way to meet new people and to see some amazing parts of Europe! You have the option of a free tour before the program, which was a really lovely way to see the city and to meet your fellow mentors before the program starts!

I did the Junior program in Wroclaw (Hotel Chojnik) in Poland and in Prague (Hotel Astra) in the Czech Republic. The hotels were really nice, the Chojnik hotel was without a soubt my favourite venue, and they catered for dietary needs (I'm lactose intolerant!) without any problems. The field trips were really cool too!

It was an incredible experience volunteering with Angloville.
I'm already planning my next programme.
I worked with juniors and thoroughly enjoyed getting to know each and every participant.
The days were long but I never felt overworked. The coordinaters always put out health and happiness first and were constantly thanking and encouraging us.
It was wonderful to meet so many new people in such a short space of time. Some of whom I will stay in touch with forever!
Also, for people looking to see the lesser known parts of Czech, Poland, Hungary, Romania or Malta, it is a great way to do so. It's also great for people travelling on a budget as I am. All transport, food and accommodation is provided so hardly any need for money at all.
A very fulfilling experience, I would highly recommend it to all.

I thoroughly enjoyed the two weeks I spent as a volunteer with Angloville. My role as a Native Speaker in Poland was very rewarding.

I enjoyed seeing how the children progressed throughout the programme. Not only was I able to see their levels of English improve drastically from day to day but I could also witness their growing confidence as they became more familiar with their new environment.

Being able to form close relationships with the children through the application of language learning in a fun and individually tailored way meant that the rapport felt natural to both parties.

Crucially, Angloville has managed to get the perfect balance between slightly more 'traditional', academic language learning and fun, interactive language activities - ensuring the children were constantly engaged.

I met so many great participants on this volunteering experience. The children I worked with were amazing and so inspiring, and I felt like I made a real difference in their lives that single week I was there.

I think the coordinators were very supportive of all of us volunteers and there was no confusion about anything during the trip. Although I loved the experience, I do have a few recommendations to make Angloville even better. I would recommend for the organisers to introduce more varied activities in the schedule and more group activities, because I felt like it made the volunteer's jobs a lot more effective when the participants were in groups.

Overall this experience is brilliant and it is a good experience for people of any age, especially students and young people.

I volunteered for the Krakow Angloville and it was fantastic. The volunteers were a unique bunch from all over the world. The students were amazing, so interested in learning about our cultures and lives. I really valued mixing up the games during speaking sessions, so they weren´t just answering the same questions. It was also nice to collaborate with other volunteers on the kinds of games and activities they were running.

The food at the camp was not very good at all. Once one of the leaders complained, it got a bit better. If you have allergies or intolerances, pack snacks! Also, I felt there was not enough introductions or social bonding for the team. We arrived at the meet up location and did not introduce ourselves. Luckily, attending the walking tour was a way to meet people beforehand, I recommend that everyone attends that before the camp starts if possible. I also felt the introduction to camp was very boring for the kids, as it was just rules. There could be more fun activities to get them pumped up.

It's a great opportunity to spend a week at a beautiful resort and forge many unforgettable memories with native speakers of many nationalities as well as the Polish/Hungarian participants.

Every Angloville is different, you'll never get the same experience twice even if you sign up for multiple programmes! I was initially feeling really nervous since it was my first time being overseas alone, but the coordinators were open, friendly and approachable which really puts me at ease :)

I did 3 programmes in total, 2 consecutively and one with a week in between. The programme is very intensive. If you need lots of time to yourself, you might want to put a week between each programmes as it requires you to interact with people for over 10 hours a day.

The resorts I've been to are well equipped with many recreational activities to explore, particularly the one at Budapest, Sarlopuszta hotel. The rooms are huge and there were activities like horse riding, shooting and archery available should you be interested. The food served in all programmes also contributed to the immersive experience of each culture. Overall, I hope to return to Angloville to do another programme in the near future!

Volunteering with Angloville this summer has been a great and enriching experience. The staff and venues have been great and is definitely worth the cost. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly so if there is ever any problem or issues, you definitely have someone to turn to or ask for advice from. Some of the venues have facilities such as swimming pools, saunas, pool tables,
basketball courts, volleyball courts etc. The kids are the most inspiring and energetic people to work with. As long as you’re keen to get involved and speak English fluently, it’s all the skills you need to be a successful volunteer. Overall, it has been a fantastic experience especially,
if you’re thinking about working towards achieving your TEFL certification!

When you sign in to Angloville you just think about traveling bt ut in the end is much more than that. You leave with friends all around the world and with an unique mentoring experience that can change your life. Just do it you will feel like is the best decition you have made for yourself and it comes with way more than you expected. Don't do it for more than 3 weeks tho because you will be tired of all the fun and all the long days. Angloville is the best way to meet people, do social networking and travel more in the future with this new frienda you just met. And also to have new possibilities of working abroad in almost any country with thw TEFL certification. And it's free! Like any doubts?
