Become a "Travel Different for Future" Promoter

Hostelling International Slovenia and JANUN Hannover e.V. are inviting you to join a unique Slovenian-German project about education & travelling if you:

  • are between 18 and 28 years old,
  • like to travel,
  • care about environmental protection and social justice,

  • would be interested to become a journalist for our Blog “Travel different for Future”.

Is this you? Then it is worth reading on

Educational experts and the volunteers in the project will develop creative and interactive educational travel-themed workshops for young people and learn how to run them. The workshops will be offered by the volunteers of the projects all over Slovenia and in the Hanover Region in Germany. We call this a peer-to-peer approach. Young people teach other young people.

All costs, such as project meetings and trips to the workshops (taking place) in schools, will be covered.

The project will open doors for participants to join other regional and international educational projects.

  • Methodological competence in the field of non-formal education and education for sustainable development
  • Experience in working with young people
  • Being part of an international team and meeting interesting people
  • The opportunity to learn how to organise and work in teams at international seminars

  • Becoming a promoter for a different way of travelling

What we expect from you

  • Participation in the approx. monthly project meetings/workshops, many of which will take place online (some of them will be held in Slovenian or German).
  • Running workshops, alone or in a team with a second volunteer. Workshops will last between 90 minutes and half a day and being held in Slovenian or German.

Who we are

For many years, Hostelling International Slovenia, in cooperation with the umbrella organization Hostelling International, has been looking for ways to encourage young people in particular to a different style of travel, which is more sustainable and ECO friendly.

JANUN Hannover e.V. has been active in environmental education and environmental protection for over 30 years and has already offered around ten international youth exchange programs annually for over 20 years.

In addition to strengthening the already established programs that both organizations carry out on a daily basis, with the "Travel Different for Future" project we want to find and develop new approaches to improve the current poor situation in tourism. The idea is to develop educational workshops for young people on the topic of travel.
