Target group & international/intercultural composition of the group & team

Participants came from Slovenia, Germany, Lithuania, Latvia, Czech Republic, Malta and Norway. Additionally, we had nationals from Tunisia and India.

Training methods used & main activities

The working methods applied in the project reflected the needs of an internationally composed group of participants, and those requirements linked to non-formal education and youth work.

Outcomes of the activity

The highlight of the project was Volunteering jam that was organized to give a chance for participants to experience volunteering fully. This helped not only to involve local community but also encourage participants to continue volunteering activities after they come back home.
