01-06 OCTOBER 2023, PREPARATORY TRAINING, KATHMANDU
Kathmandu
The main purpose of the preparatory training is to prepare the participants for living and working in a new culture. The training is mandatory for all participants in Norec’s programs and consists of two parts. First, you will be enrolled in an e-learning course five weeks before we meet.
During the training we go through the following modules:
- Being a Norec participant
- Communicating about your exchange
- Intercultural adjustment in the Norec role
- Health, safety and security
- Global Understanding
-
Registration
Upon approval of your Norec project, we will send a sign up link to the coordinating partner. Registration will be open 3 months before the training starts. The coordinating partner is responsible for submitting names and contact information for each participant before the deadline 7th August 2023.
Shortly after the deadline Norec will send a digital pre-training to each participant. This pre-training consists of important information about Norec, the participant’s role and responsibilities, a checklist and an overview of the onsite training.
At the same time we will send out a link for transport registration for your airport pickup as well as dietary requirements for the stay. Make sure to submit these details two weeks before the training starts.

Travel arrangements
Upon registration it’s the coordinating partner’s responsibility to facilitate the purchase of flight tickets. As the training starts Sunday at 4 PM, we want to make sure all participants are present. Hence, Norec covers full board from the 30th of September to the 7th October to make sure you arrive in time and do not miss our farwell party.
