Our experience in Greece since we were founded in 2016 has been overwhelmingly positive. That said, tensions can rise quickly, and we cannot guarantee that everyone you meet will be welcoming. Isolated incidents of physical violence, police intimidation, and criminalisation of asylum seekers, volunteers, and humanitarians have been documented in Greece by local and international human rights monitoring agencies such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
Volunteers must always be aware of their surroundings, behaviour, and how they communicate with others. Volunteers must comply with the Better Days Code of Conduct during the full extent of their stay and are required to sign a Liability Waiver acknowledging the inherent risks of participating in our projects.
Please familiarise yourself with the current situation in Greece through official travel advisories, Embassy/Consulate communications, and legitimate news sources before finalising travel plans.
No. We place great value on the commitment of your time, skills, and passion.
