Description
The project offers a unique chance to join a volunteer team and the IASIS community through engaging activities centered on individuals facing mental health challenges and other vulnerable groups. Volunteers will receive training focusing on clothing reuse, the circular economy, and supporting vulnerable populations, all within an interactive and friendly learning environment. They will collaborate with vulnerable individuals, form teams, and take part in awareness and educational initiatives.
