< Categories of NVDA projects/ Workcamps and other (i.)v.s. projects >

* Types of the projects by length is based on the definition in NVDA agreed for the statistics, in the seminars, etc. while types of Workcamp/ Individual type are based on the way of NICE Japan that is not standardized. Also, each organization has different definition even for the length.

Number of vols. Length	Workcamp = group type (more than 2 vols.)			Individual type(1 or 2 vols.)
Very Short Term (6 days or less)	VSTW (“Weekend Workcamps”)		(all together)VSTV		VSTI
Short Term(over 6 days - 6 weeks)	STW (mostly, international ones)		(all together)STV		STI
Middle Term (over 6 weeks - 6 months)	MTW	(together)LMTW	(all together)LMTV		(together)LMTI	MTI
Long Term (over 6 months or more)	LTW					LMI

* Categories by the geographical scale (where the volunteers come from); International (open to any nationality)/ Asian (open to any Asian)/ Trilateral (3 countries)/ Bilateral (2 countries)/ National/ Local. Even if there are finally 2-3 nationalities while it was open to any, we still call it as “International”

* Other ways to categorize are by themes (environmental, social, etc.), by nature of gathering (group workcamps that is organized for the specific groups while others are by individual applications), etc.

* As most of international workcamps are short term, when we just call “international workcamps”, it usually means short term ones (unless specifically mentioned like “long term workcamps”).

* As most of Very Short Term Workcamps are done in weekends, we call them weekend workcamps.

* LTV and MTV are usually called together as LMTV (or some organizations call MLTV).
