Voluntary service Pass it on

The main aim of the project is to support young people aged 15-26 in the development of their social and professional competences and to create conditions for gaining first professional experience. The participants will learn to think critically and search for information on the Internet. The project will be based on the exchange of life experiences and knowledge between young people. During events such as games or workshops, participants will learn more about voluntary service, e-voluntary service and gain new digital skills needed to get a job. We will also focus on strengthening the hard and soft skills of young people, so that in the future they will be able to support the Third Sector in a variety of activities, through their volunteering activities.
