CICD: Learn! Travel! Volunteer!

05/04/2017

CICD (College for International Co-operation and Development) is a residential school located in Winestead, England. At the school, teachers and students live together and share responsibility for the upkeep of the school – tasks that are always an integral part of the training!

CICD is a unique place that prepares you through education and hands-on work for volunteer projects in Africa or India. Since 1998, hundreds of volunteers have started their journey from here, and CICD has 11 sister schools around the world. The educational methods are unconventional and certainly challenging – but you'll meet many new people from all over the globe.

Climate Activist in India / 5 months

  • 6 weeks: training in England

Costs:

The registration fee is £350. In addition, each programme has a course fee, which covers food, accommodation, and travel expenses related to the project (flight, visa, vaccinations).

  • 5-month Climate Activist Programme: £3600

  • 12-month Poverty Activist Programme: £3200

  • 10-month Volunteering in Africa Programme: €2700

If you don't have enough money to pay the course fee, you can earn it through the Gaia Environmental Course. This adds 4–6 months to your stay, during which you'll mainly work to raise the funds needed for the course. However, please note that the £350 registration fee must still be paid even if you join the Gaia Programme.
