Kingslink Carnival IVP - 17-31st August 2008

Xchange Scotland are delighted to announce their first International Volunteer Project (IVP) we are hosting in Scotland in 2008 - the Kingslink Community Carnival.

This project will see 12 international volunteers coming from many countries round the world to live and work together in Glasgow to help promote and organise a community Carnival in the Knightswood area of the city.

The Kingslink Carnival is the biggest event on the calendar for the local community charities of this area. The event aims to celebrate the new cultural diversity of the area and bring everyone together in a positive spirit of inclusion and expression. The Kingslink Carnival features music, sports, food, games and a parade amongst other activities. The work of the volunteers will be of great help to the community charities to build the capacity of the Carnival and to better achieve its aims.
