Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

The coordinating organization rents a flat in the city of Bialystok. Here lives the volunteer together with other volunteers or with students, has own room and common bath and kitchen. The volunteer gets a monthly ticket for city travel. The coordinating organization pays also the travel expenses connected with the on-arrival training and the mid-term meeting on the base of original tickets. The volunteer gets from the coordinating organization money for food and pocket money.

Training during the activity

Volunteers will participate in training courses provided by the Polish National Agency (On-arrival and Mid-term meeting).
