Following the methods implemented by our member - ARDR - we shall provide our volunteers with several thematic sessions on project management, intercultural communication, conflict management, public relations, community facilitation, animation, etc, trainings that will contribute to the personal development of the volunteers contributing to the development of new skills and abilities. Such competences will help them along the EVS project but also in the future with their professional growth.
