The young participants in the training will be able to develop a number of key competences and skills such as: – Ability to use different techniques, methods and techniques in the process of supporting victims of anti-LGBT hate crimes. – Presentation skills; – Improve communication skills; – Ability to work in a multicultural environment; – Building skills for communication and work with people at risk and people who are victims of violence; – Acquisition of team work skills; – Acquisition of creativity and innovative methods in the approach when working with people who are victims of anti-LGBT hate crimes. – Skills for a better understanding of the problems of the LGBT community; – Skills to distinguish the main LGBT groups.

We can only refund your travelling costs if you have the original tickets, flight tickets, boarding passes, receipts of the trip, invoices.

A flight ticket is a document or electronic record, issued by an airline or a travel agency, that confirms that an individual is entitled to a seat on a flight on an aircraft. The airline ticket may be one of two types: a paper ticket, which comprises coupons or vouchers; and an electronic ticket.

A boarding pass is a document provided by an airline during check-in, giving a passenger permission to enter the restricted area of an airport and to boardthe airplane for a particular flight. At a minimum, it identifies the passenger, the flight number, and the date and scheduled time for departure. In some cases, flyers can check in online and print the boarding passes themselves.

It is a rule set by the European Commission. But you can come earlier than the first day of the project and you can leave later than the last day of the project. (2 days in total)
The daily plan can be changed by our organization. Some features can be negotiated with the participants and new changes can be made on the estimated schedule.
You have to care for the estimated daily plan and participate to the activities except some certain unexpected situations like illness.
We will cover the accomodations and meals setted during the official days of the project. However, if you stay longer, you will have to pay for your own expenses.
Obeying the rules is very important in terms of your participation. In case you do not follow the rules and bring the necessary documents, your participation will be canceled and you will not be able to get your reimbursement. In this case, your hotel expenses will not be covered. It is very possible to have problems in a project with 30 different people. However, we should apply these rules in order to provide peace, so it is very important to obey them.

ACCOMODATION

Our accomodations are set 3 days before the project date and no change is made. Accommodation may not have air conditioning or no personal items such as towels, toothbrushes, so bring these items with you. In our projects, accommodation is made in the style of camping. Participants should take this into account. Thus, accommodation is not open to CRITICISM. In addition, participants who do not want to stay in the accomodation arranged by the organizer can stay in other hotels, provided that they cover their own accommodation fees. The important thing is to fully participate in the events. Otherwise, their participation will be cancelled.

We give a list of items included in your suit/room and a photo of your suit/room and ask to confirm the list. If you give any damage to the room or to the items, you have to pay for the expenses. Otherwise, the accomodation owner will take the expenses from your travel money.

We’re going to inform you about the accomodation where you will stay a week before the project. For example: If the project starts on 20th April, between 12-17th April, we find the accomodation and send the info to you because we don’t live in the city where the project will take place. Therefore, it takes time to find and decide for the best solution. In some projects you may have to stay with people up to 5 in the same room. It is usually 2 or 3 participants in one room, but this may change according to accommodation place.

The estimated daily menu is based on Italian cultural dishes. However, there could be changes in the menu according to the region and the season.

GENERAL CONDITIONS & GOALS

You must listen and care for the organization’s warnings. Please don’t forget that each country has a different cultural background. So we have different habits and features and something can be a problem for you. It is advised to take care of the warnings.

We will carry out evaluation activities at the end of each day and on the last day of the project to see our improvement through the project. With quizzes, and questionnaires, the participants evaluate everything related to the project. Through these evaluations, we will evaluate not only the project conditions but also each other’s performances in the activities. For this reason, we would like you to write your names and signatures on the evaluation papers. Evaluation is for everything like teams, activities, cultural nights, etc.

After the culture night activities, we usually party with all the participants. However, when it is 01.00 am, everyone should go to their rooms in order not to be late for the activities on the other day. Since it is very important for us to participate in all the activities in the project. And after that time, no one should leave their rooms and make any noise in order not to disturb anyone.

During the project, using drugs such as weed, and marijuana is adamantly forbidden. The use of weed, marijuana, and any kind of drugs is strictly prohibited. During the project, when the users and suppliers are identified, their participation will be canceled. When faced with such a situation, the police forces will definitely be informed of the incident. We request you to pay attention to this issue.

The project does not have to take place near the city center. It can be held in a village or town.

Sometimes, the hosting organization can let a team leave earlier because of their urgent job. It is up to the hosting organization.

In these conditions below, a participant cannot be allowed to stay in the project and they can’t take any ticket money;

a person comes late to activities all time without any valid reason,
a person disturbs other neighbours or participants,
a person who is racist, negative, bad-tempered.
a person uses violence,
a person doesn’t give necessary documents to us.

You will have a chance to visit and tour the city center. The free time will be given to you for this. But we do not have a city tour opportunity. But if the participants want, we can organize it altogether. If we cannot, you will have free time wherever you want to go.
