First pre-departure training for volunteers sent to Albania and Turkey<\/h2>\n

4.6.2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week in Bratislava we are hosting a pre-departure training for future humanitarian volunteers within the framework of our project Humanitarian Volunteers in Action<\/em> (HVA). Thanks to a busy programme put together by our two project managers abroad, the volunteers will be well prepared for their future work in low-income countries.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The training focuses on their comprehensive pre-deployment preparation (including first aid and security topics), with an emphasis on their specific positions in the partner organisation and the local context in the host country. The EU Aid Volunteers programme places a strong emphasis on safety and security issues during the volunteer's secondment, as evidenced by the fact that already in the pre-selection phase, candidates undergo training under the auspices of the European Commission in one of its cooperating professional agencies. They will then be trained by us and, once they arrive at their host organisation, they will be trained on the spot.<\/p>\n

ADRA Slovakia as well as all participating partners in the safety topics draw on their experience, but also on the specific 2-year training in the HVM project, which culminated in obtaining certification. This is a guarantee of a professional and quality procedure in ensuring the safety of the deployed EU Aid volunteer(s). The attached video gives a short insight into the topic:<\/p>\n
