In addition to these tasks, the volunteer will participate in the everyday activities of our partner, with flexible activities depending on the project phase. Each volunteer will have a tailored timetable based on their skills, abilities, and preferences. If the workload exceeds the usual hours, alternative days off will be provided. Other activities at our partner organization where educational skills can be applied and new learning opportunities arise include contributing to our partner's meetings by suggesting volunteering-related topics, creating and facilitating workshops on the theme of the European Year of Skills, and assisting with trainings.
