🛬 When to arrive. Angloville advises International Participants to arrive one day before the programme starts, as the departure to the venue occurs on the first day of the programme before 11:00 AM. Angloville does not cover additional expenses, such as airport shuttle, meals, and hotel rooms before or after the programme.

🛫 When to leave. Participants can book their return flight for the last day of the programme, but they must make sure they will be flying from the departure city, not earlier than 23:00. Generally, Participants prefer to book their return flight the day after the programme as they can have a proper rest before flying.

✈️  Flying. To arrive at the first start city, we recommend: www.skyscanner.com to look for some good flight deals. Budget airlines within Europe (Wizz air and Ryanair) do have some great deals for the upcoming months, with fares starting from 30 GBP! 

🚌 Angloville bus. Angloville organizes free transportation for all participants from the departure city to the venue and back in Poland and Italy. The departure occurs on the first day of the programme, typically early in the morning (between 7:00-11:00 AM), at a centrally accessible meeting point. Detailed information about this complimentary service will be provided to participants in the infopacks, sent out 3-4 weeks before the programme begins.

🚆 Intercities connections. If Participants plan to visit several cities in the host country, Angloville recommends checking the itinerary for feasibility before accepting the package of programmes. For traveling between programs and starting cities, there are budget bus options within Europe like Flixbus, trip and itinerary scheduling tools like Rome2rio. Additionally, we suggest using Trainline to check schedules and book train tickets in Europe and local train companies like Intercity in Poland and Trenitalia in Italy.

🚊 Public transports. Polish cities offer very convenient and well-connected public transport, including buses, trams, and metros. We suggest using Jakdojade, the official Polish website for local city transport.

 Additionally, the “Transports” feature in Google Maps has been proven to be very reliable in major European cities and is highly recommended for navigating in Italy, for instance.

🚖 Taxis. In Poland, there’s an extended range of taxi services and apps that offer affordable fares, such as Uber, Bolt, FreeNow, etc. We suggest downloading these apps to get around Polish cities. In Italy, we strongly recommend using the official taxi rank.

Angloville organizes your transport from the departure city to the venue where the programme takes place and back. This service is free of charge. Most of our meeting points are situated in the city center, conveniently close to public transportation options such as buses, metros, trams, and taxis.

Angloville offers various dietary options at most of our venues, including unrestricted, vegetarian, lactose-free, and gluten-free choices. While we do our best to accommodate participants, please be aware that not all venues and countries provide vegetarian and vegan options, especially in Italy.

Meeting specific dietary preferences and restrictions such as halal, kosher, or meat preferences is challenging due to local culture and cuisine, especially in Italy, Poland, and Malta. We understand the importance of dietary needs and apologize for any inconvenience.

If you have meat-related dietary restrictions, we recommend choosing the vegetarian option. Please understand that our meal plans are based on group menus, and changes to your dietary option may not be possible due to advanced meal orders.

When packing for a trip to Europe, you should first consider the destination and the time of year you are visiting. Europe has a temperate climate, so you should pack layers of clothing, including a warm jacket or coat for colder months. In summer, light clothing is the best choice to stay cool.

Don’t forget to pack all the essentials like your passport, travel insurance, and any other necessary travel documents. Also, it’s a good idea to have some cash and credit cards for shopping, snacks, and other extra activities. If you’re coming from a country with a different type of electrical outlet, you’ll need to bring an adapter plug to charge your devices.

For more information, please refer to the dedicated webpages in the PROGRAMMES section of our website’s main menu.

🔹 Infopack. Angloville will provide all the essential information in an infopack, which will be sent out 3-4 weeks before the programme begins. This document will consolidate crucial details about the program, including the meeting point, Coordinator contact information, program description, venue details, tips, and recommendations. We cannot send this information earlier, as external factors or unforeseen circumstances may arise, and we aim to provide the most current information to all participants.

🔹 Brief reminder. A few days prior to the programme, we will send an email named “Brief Reminder” summarizing essential information regarding the programme’s meeting point and time, details about the free city tour, and contact information of the responsible coordinator. Furthermore, on the Friday preceding the programme, the lead coordinators responsible for the programme will reach out to you if necessary. They will keep you updated regarding the meeting point and the programme. If desired, they can also include you in our Whatsapp and/or Facebook group, allowing you to stay connected with our staff as well as your fellow participants.

Angloville travel sponsorships are not limited, so you can reapply to Angloville at any time. If you are a returning participant, you won’t have to go through the interview and qualification process again. Based on the feedback we received about you from participants and staff during your last programs, we will offer you a new package that aligns with your profile, the skills you demonstrated, and our availability.

The next steps for you will be to transfer the deposit, arrange your travel itinerary, and update your documentation if necessary.

The Angloville team and hotel staff may find it challenging to accommodate late changes in the programme package, as they have already made all the accommodation and transport arrangements well in advance. Indeed, participants’ spots at the venue are secured using their security deposit.

Angloville may consider one change or update in the programme package, provided that the change request occurs at least 30 days before the start of the programme.

Angloville programmes are typically fully booked and finalized at least 30 days before their start, and our team must maintain a balance between local participants’ linguistic abilities and the backgrounds of international participants. Changes can only be agreed upon to achieve the best possible ratio in accordance with this consideration.

Participants have 21 days after the end of their last programme to request a refund of their deposit. The deposit is refunded when:

1. All the programmes (package) listed in the Confirmation Email are successfully completed.
2. There is no early departure from the programme, pending bills at the hotel, termination letter issued by the Coordinators Team, etc.
3. There is no cancellation of any part of the package.

In case of cancellation, penalties apply. For further information, please review our Terms and Conditions on our website here.
