Resumo: The ‘Batavia' and ‘De 7 Provinciën' bring to life the stories of the people and their work and lives in 17th-century VOC times. Traditional crafts are revived in the various workshops, such as the woodcarving workshop, the forge and the rigging workshop. Batavia Yard offers visitors the opportunity to learn hands-on from the past. The Batavia Yard method is different from others because no concessions are being made during the building process. The shipyard performs extensive historical research into the construction, work methods and use of materials in the 17th century. Batavia Yard's accumulated expertise is unique in the world and makes it possible to build reconstructions that are very true to life. The construction of the ships provides new knowledge about shipbuilding from that era, something we call ‘experimental archaeology'.

Tarefas: The volunteer is working in a very active and flexible foundation. Despite there is a project description the volunteer will have personal freedom. This means that there is enough space to grow in the organisation besides the fixed activities. Of course the foundation will give a structure in which the volunteer can find his challenge.
The volunteer can learn how it is to work in a field with a small power-distance. If there are things that you think can ben changed to benefit the organisation in the volunteering work you are doing, you are more then welcome to share your opinion with the teamleaders.
Because Stichting Batavia preferes to have volunteers for one year the volunteers will have the oppurtunity to grow in the organisation and get responsibilities.
However we must point out that the volunteering work is hard. Building a ship wasn’t easy 400 years ago. And still it’s quite some work, especially the way Stichting Batavia is building the new ship. You will be outside most of the time also when it is cold, rainy and windy. In the winter there are other tasks wich can be carried out inside. Because Batavia aims at the highest level of quality possible for their ships the work can be done by strict protocols. This is for your safety and safety of the contruction and welbeeing of the ship. A mistake in the construction can have severe consequences for the building process. And at some point if you finish your EVS we hope that we can invite you ever again when the ship is going to set sail after some years when the build is finished.
There are possibilities to see all the aspects of working in Batavia. There will be fixed patterns and tasks you have to perform on the application form but after some time there will be oppurtunities to change tasks. This kind of changes will be in cooperation with the sending organisation, coordinating organisation, volunteer and Bataviawerf (hosting organisation)

Condições: Tripin provides language courses one hour a week for three months. After this the volunteer can continue the language lessons, but has to pay a fee of €10 a month. Please note that for German(ic) languages these language lessons are maybe a bit easy. The courses are focused on basic communicating skills and pronunciations in the Dutch language.
• For your transport you will receive a bike to move through the city. Also in winter times you will use a bike.
• 10% of your total travel costs are for your own costs. 90% will be reimbursed as soon as you have your dutch bank account. This is in the first month of your EVS.
• You will have to share a room with another volunteer. Please be aware of this fact.
• Every week you have the option to travel from Lelystad to Almere to socialize with the other volunteers. You have a room in Almere, but also this room is shared. The costs for this weekly travel are payed by Stichting Tripin.
• It is very wise to save some money before coming to the Netherlands. The pocket and food money is decent for EVS, but won’t leave you a lot of space to explore the Netherlands. If you really want to enjoy your EVS, explore the country and meet up with other EVS volunteers in other cities we would highly recommend to have some other resources then the basic EVS allowances.
