• crisis management and conflict resolution
• response to the expectations and possible insecurities of the future volunteers
• motivating and encouraging the future volunteers
• facilitating networking between volunteers from SEE
• providing individual support

• providing general information on EVS (-management of the project and availability of support structures, clarification of the concept of volunteering and non-formal learning and information on the rights and responsibilities of the volunteers and other actors as well as practical information on issues such as money and working hours)
• country specific information on culture, political- and administrative institutions and "every-day life" in SEE
