Eu program

I found the seminars really useful for my work. I get to organize a lot of volunteers in my day to day life, and achieving some practical background, on how to structure and coordinate the activities for them it was a very interesting and important point that I think this project offered me. The international approach was also an asset, since we had the opportunity to exchange good practices and methods withy a lot of people from very different backgrounds.”
