Organisations are requested to register their volunteers for particular training at the latest 4 weeks before the activity. Before registering volunteers, please consider:

• on-arrival training targets volunteers whose projects are long-term (more than 2 months). There is no possibility for our SALTO EECA to offer on-arrival training for short-term volunteers. Project promoters are responsible for such preparation of short-term volunteers.
• mid-term evaluations are planned only for volunteers whose services are longer than 6 months. SALTO EECA can accept only those mid-term volunteers who are still at least 2 months before end of service period.
• in case there is less than 6 (5 for online) volunteers for an on-arrival training or mid-term meeting we will need to cancel the training/evaluation and consider inviting volunteers to another activity.
• in case there is between 6 (5 for online) and 10 volunteers, we might decide to shorten the activity to 2 working days.
• in case there is more than 25 volunteers for an on-arrival training or mid-term evaluation, we will consider organising additional activity (also possible that it could be organised in the more convenient country for volunteers, then the one stated in the calendar);
• all hosting costs of volunteers' training/evaluations will be covered by organiser - SALTO EECA; travel costs will be reimbursed during activity in cash on the base of original tickets (including copies of return ones), only 2nd class inter-city land transportation expenditures (buses, trains: plackartnyj or kupiejnyj) will be reimbursed (no city buses nor taxi); only in exceptional cases SALTO EECA can buy the flight ticket for volunteer (flights are not subject for reimbursement); if necessary, additional visa costs should be considered by promoters at the project application level;

Exceptions are possible, so if you have any doubts, remarks or proposals, please contact us at
