Training during the activity
Our organization offers to the volunteer the possibility to take part in a language course, according to their current level of German. All participants must participate in two mandatory ESC seminars during their project: On-Arrival and Mid-Term Training. These are opportunities to meet volunteers from other countries, gain understanding of the EU values and reflect on the ongoing project. The volunteers will also get to know other volunteers from Leipzig.
