Is this right for me? :
What to Expect

If understanding and exploring the depths of a new culture is something that appeals to you, then our cultural immersion project in Cambodia for older adults is for you. You’ll have the opportunity to travel and do something different with a group of people your own age.

This project is perfect for people who are retired, or have taken time off work to travel and give back to a community abroad. You don’t need previous experience to join, as you’ll be focused on learning and experiences. This is a great way to pursue personal enrichment, and to travel safely with a group of likeminded people.

Our Grown-up Special in Cambodia is designed specifically for people over the age of 50. Our staff have put together a two-week itinerary filled with activities and trips. You’ll explore temples, visit museums, and more. You’ll do all of this with a group, and Projects Abroad staff will be with you to offer support.

Aim of cultural project :
Volunteers over 50

The aim of this project is to provide you with a culturally immersive experience in one of Asia’s most fascinating countries. You’ll get an insight into Khmer culture and the challenges Cambodian people face today, and we’ll teach you about their history and traditions.

This experience goes beyond what you would get as a normal tourist. You’ll engage in cultural exchange, and you’ll do volunteer work that supports our ongoing efforts to help communities develop. This could be something like teaching English, and giving young students the opportunity to practice speaking with you. Speaking English is a skill that can open the door to better employment opportunities in a country where tourism is an growing industry.

Join us and take part in a unique Khmer cultural experience in Cambodia for seniors.

Food and Accomodation

You’ll share accommodation with other Projects Abroad volunteers and interns during your stay in Phnom Penh. This is a great way to get to know your fellow volunteers and interns, share experiences, and explore your surroundings in your free time together.

The accommodation is safe, clean, and comfortable. Your programme fees include three meals a day.
