What is some information you should know as a volunteer?

Information for volunteers – The PROTRIP-WORLD insurance for volunteers adapts to your travel plans. You have the choice between different travel regions and you can also flexibly choose the scope of insurance: PROTRIP-WORLD always includes a strong international health insurance. We especially recommend volunteers to supplement their insurance cover with the Comfort or Plus Package to be able to travel and work without worries. The two packages differ in the scope of the liability insurance. The Plus Package includes a higher basic insurance sum and covers, for example, the risk of losing your keys and damages arising from an act of favor (e.g. at a garden party of another volunteer, you are asked to carry chairs from the flat into the garden, breaking the glass pane in the process).

Please take care of your health insurance in good time before beginning your studies, preferably as soon as possible after arriving in Germany. In Germany there are two kinds of health insurance schemes for students: statutory health insurance for matriculated students and private health insurance for all other types of students. The statutory health insurance offers good benefits and is fairly inexpensive for students. Every student who has the opportunity to be admitted to the statutory health insurance should make use of this option. A private health insurance like EDUCARE24 is always useful in cases where statutory health insurance is not possible.
