Background of the project
Grenzenlos is running international projects and exchanges since nearly 70 years. In the last years we dedicated our trainings to the topics of civil courage, human rights, and peace-work. But one of the most recurrent topics on the last years has been the need for a better preparation and support for our organisations and the participants itself whenever there is the need for psychological support.
The training is part of a bigger strategy that aims create awareness of the preparation, handling, and follow-up during the crisis intervention. After the success of the
seminar in 2020, Grenzenlos is now aiming to create a training course on
practical methods that can be used to mitigate crisis in volunteering services.
It will be a holistic activity that will ask for the participants experiences
and knowledge to enrich the program and to provide new and different inputs on
dealing with crisis in volunteering services.
