Sharing skills and ideas. Learning from each other through the worldwide exchange of expertise and knowledge. That is one of the fields in which Skillshare International operates.
By request of one of its partners, Skillshare temporarily assigns experts in certain fields to that partner organisation. An expert works with the partner as a volunteer, on local terms. Development Workers (DW’s) help to further professionalise the partner organization. At the same time DW’s share their skills with their local counterparts, making sure the partner is able to fulfil the position independently after the placement has ended. DW’s work and live under local circumstances, receiving a local allowance.
