Part of the course is an obligatory online preparatory phase:

Before attending the residential training course in Slovakia, participants should complete an obligatory online preparatory or introductory phase. This phase is designed to provide basic information and establishing a common foundation. It also serves as a platform for you to begin forming a learning community and to conduct initial assessments of your own organisations, local communities, and personal needs. The preparatory phase requires 4-6 hours of commitment, and participants have the flexibility to allocate these hours across the days as they see fit. This phase will take place from January 22 to February 2, 2024, on the HOP Platform, including an online meeting scheduled for January 25 (16:00-17:30 CET). If you are selected and unable to attend the online meeting, please notify the organisers in advance.

We are looking for participants who:

● are involved in the Volunteering Actions in European Solidarity Corps Programme
● are connected to organisations/institutions holding a Quality Label for Volunteering (or an accreditation for Volunteering in Erasmus+).

● providing conditions for high quality activities
