During the projects each volunteer had an individual working plan and had the opportunity to work with specific learning goals, training such essential skills as voicing their opinion, participating in horizontally organised group processes, acquiring basic media literacy skills, learning to use social media tools and open source online working platforms, promote (PR) and document activities, working in multicultural and multilingual environment, developing the facilitation skills and ability to share their knowledge in format of a creative workshop.
