tropical mini-state Goa in India, with reverse sides
Goa was a Portuguese colony until 1961. As a result, Goa today offers a unique blend of Indian and Portuguese culture and architecture, which visibly distinguishes it from the rest of India. Goa is home to Hindus, Roman Catholics and a smaller Muslim population.
Goa is also considered one of the most peaceful states in India. Because of its paradise beaches and delicious food, Goa is a magnet for tourists from all over the world.
Tourism is an important source of income, but it also has a dark side. It weighs on the local population. Foreigners' fascination with Goa has brought with it pollution and prostitution. Tensions arise between villages and large hotels.

vrijwilligerswerk in India: waarom?
Antoon Cox, trajectbegeleider India
India is allesbehalve saai en vol verrassingen. In een steeds diverser wordend Europa en België is het een plus als je leert werken en leven in een superdiverse context. Daarnaast ga je je kunnen verdiepen in social engineering rond verschillende thema’s. Je zal er vertrouwd geraken met andere manieren van communiceren, creatief denken en doen.

Na je diversiteitstraining in India ga je het gemakkelijker vinden om zowel professioneel als privé om te gaan met mensen van allerlei pluimage in België en waar ook ter wereld.
