One of the Italian volunteers also organized Italian courses for the local community and for the students going to Italy for internship/work practices. This project has provided practice based methods which enabled the volunteers have hands-on experience. Volunteers were mentored and supported in their planning and executing of all activities, in the development of cultural dialogue and intercultural skills.

They have become more inclusive people, accepting more easily the differences among people. Everybody has also become more conscious of the volunteering work value.
