He/she will participate in team consultations, internal and external meetings and professional trainings. The volunteer will work in a team and be responsible for certain tasks. It is possible to choose a project on which he/she can focus referring to his/her interests and talents. These projects could be: creative offers of any kind, music-pedagogical or other projects for example recycling and upcycling-projects, or projects about earth, water, air.
