TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Wojciech Spychala
The main objective of the on-arrival training was to introduce the volunteers to Poland, preparing them for the service period and the EVS experience. On-arrival training helped the volunteers adapt to cultural and personal challenges. It allowed volunteers to get to know each other and to build a network. Volunteers also received guidance on conflict prevention and crisis management.
20 EVS volunteers from different countries working in Polish hosting organisations.
Used methods were based on the idea of non-formal learning: group work, open space, individual/pair reflection, discussions, role plays, team work, interactive games.
Participants left the training with new ideas for their projects, new contacts, more energy and plans for the future.
