Training during the activity

The volunteer will participate in an orientation training during the first week of the project, organized by Europejskie Forum Młodzieży (EFM). The volunteer will also participate in the activity organized by the Polish National Agency of Erasmus+ Programme. Extra training will depend on the volunteer’s ideas and needs.
