How a Humasol project works
A project at Humasol starts with a Student Kick-off where the general operation of Humasol is discussed and how we achieve international solidarity. You will be assigned a team, project and coach and there will be a small team building activity to get to know each other better.
During the academic year, you will work on the project as a team with the help of a coach – an experienced Humasol member – who is only too happy to share practical experience and be your first point of contact. Your preparation starts with a thorough literature study and good partner contact in the first semester. This will be followed by an intermediary report and presentation. The design is then concretized and practical aspects are taken care of. Your preparation ends with the final report and final presentation in April. During the year we provide sessions where the project is worked on together and updates are requested. We also offer a certificate for completing Intercultural Management & Communication (IMC) sessions. If everything goes well, Humasol will give you approval to carry out your project on location.
The project requires at least eight weeks to complete to ensure a good finish. After your return, you will write an (internship) report and share your memorable experiences during the annual Humasol return event.
