Volunteering projects!

25/09/2026

Hi everyone!

We have some great news: for the first time, we are now working in Medellín with a fully Belgian volunteer team! 🇧🇪🇨🇴

This has been a dream of ours for a long time, and it perfectly reflects the heart of what Intercambio is about: creating meaningful exchanges between Belgium and Colombia.

Why do we love sending Belgian volunteers to Colombia? Because the experience doesn’t necessarily end when the volunteering period is over. Many of our volunteers stay involved by joining our annual festival, attending book presentations, participating in language exchanges, and taking part in other activities throughout the year.

We want to build a small but lasting community of people who want to contribute positively to Colombia and offer a meaningful alternative to the s*x and drug tourism that affects the country. It’s an authentic way to discover Colombian culture, build genuine connections, and stay involved even after returning to Belgium.

By the way, we are currently looking for volunteers who would like to start in March / mid-March.

For more information, visit www.intercambio.be or get in touch with us at [email protected].

Cheers,
Team Intercambio 🇧🇪🇨🇴

🔥 SPECIAL GUEST REVEAL! 🔥

For our Debate in the Bathtub at the Intercambio Festival, hosted by Ian, better known as De Recensent van Gent, we are proud to welcome a very special guest: Mr Germán Parra Gallego 🇨🇴🇧🇪

Germán is a PhD Researcher at Ghent University, specialising in Human Rights and the protection of people deprived of their liberty. His experience has taken him from Colombia to Mexico and Central America, working with organisations such as the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ).

But don't worry… we won't stay dry with only academic talk. 🛁😉

Together, we'll dive into some fascinating topics, including:

🌍 The recent earthquakes in Colombia
🔒 The Colombian prison system and human rights
⚽ Football — because what would a Colombian conversation be without it?
🇨🇴 And much, much more!

Expect an open, interesting and maybe slightly unexpected conversation… all from inside a bathtub. 🛁😂

📅 Sunday, August 30
📍 Stadsmakers, Ghent
🕝 2:30 PM

Come join us for a conversation you definitely don't experience every day!

Hi everyone!

Today, we're sharing the third part of our interview with Julian, in which he talks about an activity he enjoyed with our volunteers.

Together, we visited the Pequeño Teatro to watch En busca de Eunice o un rap sobre escombros ("In Search of Eunice, or a Rap About the Rubble").

The play explores the pain, resilience, and memories of the victims of Operation Orion, the 2002 military intervention in Comuna 13, Medellín. Blending the classical myth of Orpheus and Eurydice with real testimonies and rap music, the production sheds light on the tragedy of the disappeared and the lasting impact of the events on the community.

The performance was quite abstract, so it wasn't always easy for all of our volunteers to fully understand its themes and symbolism.

However, the following week, Julian joined our adult class to explore the topic in greater depth, explaining it further to our volunteers during the "coffee table."

For a moment, our volunteers became students again, listening, asking questions, and learning from Julian's perspective and knowledge. This is exactly what we aim to achieve at Intercambio: a genuine exchange in which both volunteers and students learn from one another.

The focus is not only on teaching, but on sharing experiences, knowledge, and perspectives through mutual learning and connection.

Enjoy your Sunday (btw a big day for Colombia, Elections day).
