The volunteer will become a part of the multifunctional team whose members teach and learn from each other. Volunteer will be directly in the process of everyday mutual teaching/learning process during which he will share his knowledge base with others and at the same time, the staff will train him in fields of work necessary for running an indepedant cultural place like Stanica. Active participation of the volunteers in this process is vital and brings lot of newly gained skills for the volunteer, as well as it enriches the value of the hosting organization itself. Taking part in everyday life of organization will give the volunteer lot of different impulses leading to her professional but also personal growth and will hopefully help to find the volunteer’s future direction.
