Are you passionate about intercultural communication and volunteering?
Do you want to take on responsibility and strengthen a team of dedicated volunteers? Then you might be our new coordinator for Dansk ICYE’s Cross Cultural Trainers (CCT)!

Who are we?
Dansk ICYE (International Cultural Youth Exchange) is a non-profit exchange organisation primarily for young people aged 18-30, who believe that the world becomes a better place when we meet each other with openness and exchange understanding across cultures. We send Danish youngsters abroad for exchange through volunteer work and welcome foreign volunteers to Denmark as well. The idea is to give young people from all over the world the opportunity to travel and experience new cultures.

Who are the Cross Cultural Trainers?
Four times a year, Dansk ICYE organises weekend camps that include pre-departure seminars for Danes about to travel, homecoming seminars for returned Danish volunteers, and activities for the foreign volunteers we host in the country. All of these different programmes are run by volunteers in Dansk ICYE’s committees.

CCT (Cross Cultural Trainers) is the group of dedicated volunteers who plan and facilitate sessions for Dansk ICYE’s foreign volunteers. As a Cross Cultural Trainer, you will therefore help create a safe and educational environment for the volunteers, where they can reflect on their experience, learn about intercultural topics, and develop strong relationships with other participants.

There are four camps held each year: an on-arrival camp, two midterm camps, and one end-of-year camp.

Who are we looking for?

You do not need extensive experience in teaching or facilitation – the most important thing is your enthusiasm for learning and contributing with your energy and ideas. We are looking for someone who is passionate about culture and intercultural communication and who wants to be part of a committed team.

Since this is a coordinating role, we are specifically looking for someone who:

  • Is structured, engaged, and a good team player.
  • Wants to take on responsibility for leading a team of volunteers.
  • Can dedicate time to attending team meetings and camps.

The Coordinator's Role

As the CCT coordinator, you will be responsible for:

  • Planning and coordinating team meetings and task distribution in collaboration with Dansk ICYE’s office.
  • Ensuring that workshops and activities are developed and delivered at the camps.
  • Supporting and motivating the volunteers in the team.
  • Ensuring continuous development of the team and the camps.
  • Acting as the main contact person between CCT, other committees, and Dansk ICYE’s office.

What do we offer?

As a volunteer in Dansk ICYE, you will:

  • Gain experience in coordination, teaching, facilitation, and intercultural communication.
  • Develop skills in leadership, teamwork, relationship-building, and conflict resolution.
  • Be part of a strong community of young people passionate about cultural exchange and volunteering.
  • Make a difference to young people from all over the world and contribute to their personal and cultural development.
  • Access training opportunities through our workshops and those offered by other organisations in Denmark and across Europe.
  • Have plenty of opportunities to participate in other organisational activities throughout the year, such as the general assembly, organisational weekends, and local branch events etc.
  • Depending on the nature of the event, we often offer free transport, meals, and accommodation for volunteers involved in Dansk ICYE’s events. This applies to volunteers who have become members of the organisation, which costs 75 DKK annually.

If you join Dansk ICYE you will become part of an intercultural community of young people who share your passion for language and cultural exchange. Together, we create unique experiences for the volunteers – and for each other.

We love meeting new people, having fun, and learning together. If you can see yourself as part of our team, don’t hesitate to reach out!
