TIMELINE


Selection process
100 volunteers are selected from a list of applicants that have signed up on our website, you can signup for our newsletter to be notified when registration opens.
Between 80-90% of the volunteers are selected randomly. Some spots are reserved for journalists, photographers, and people with skills or backgrounds that we believe will complement the projects. Most of the applicants come from Nordic countries, the rest of Europe, and the United States.

Qualitative evaluations
Visit Faroe Islands collects information through surveys and meetings after each annual event to gain insights into satisfaction, most common challenges, and possible improvements. We want to improve the initiative on all levels and keep volunteers and collaborators motivated and satisfied.
