Educational Program "Volunteer School 12.0"
We are excited to share the news about the 12th cohort of the online educational project "Volunteer School"
The training took place online from November 25 to December 25, 2024, and consisted of 8 educational sessions covering the main aspects of volunteering, 4 sessions on volunteering, time management, and burnout prevention, as well as 4 hours of practical work within the projects and campaigns of the network’s volunteer centers. In addition, participants completed tests after each session and kept a practice journal.
A total of 60 volunteers participated in the educational project, 80% of whom were new to the centers (having started their activities approximately six months ago). 37 graduates completed the "Volunteer School" with distinction (attending all sessions, passing all tests, participating in all additional meetings, and completing 4 hours of practical work).
We are pleased to share participants’ feedback about the learning experience:
