More details
This team is a combination of our UK and Global programmes. The team will spend their first 6 months in the UK, volunteering at one of the Oasis hubs and following the same programme as the threesixty teams, finishing in March. They will then go on to one of our international bases to follow the same itinerary as the 5-month Global teams - this is usually Johannesburg, South Africa.
NB This itinerary can be reversed, going overseas first and then returning to do the UK placement.
Please note, the cost for 'Tale of 2 Cities' does not include food on the UK placement.

"There were challenges, especially at the beginning - we had to get used to working together as a team, and it took time, but we got so much better at it! Also, I had to adapt to a new culture which took me out of my comfort zone, and by the end had taught me a lot about having confidence in myself..."
