A construction mission is a fantastic experience. It is all about rolling up your sleeves: laying and stacking up bricks, painting, but also passing on knowledge. Why are many colleagues so enthusiastic about these missions? Because you take part together with colleagues from various Vebego companies. Together you work on building a better future for people. And, bearing in mind the purpose of such a construction project, the reason why you are doing it is clear: to build a care home for elderly people who lost everything in the tsunami, for example, or a training centre for street girls who, after their training, will be able to support themselves. Although it may seem like a drop in the ocean, it makes tomorrow better than today for these people, and you can make a contribution to this.
The group is made up of employees from Vebego companies. This means that all employees, from all countries and all job levels, are able to take part. An introductory meeting is planned before you set off, which is combined with CSR training. After the construction mission we organize an evaluation to share experiences and decide on the next steps to be taken in the area of CSR. Both meetings last 1 day and are found to be a useful and enjoyable experience by the participants.
