The participants will raise their competencies and skills in organising sports event at European level, get new experiences in different fields, be useful for the organising committee, exchange knowledge, learn about the culture of the country, get new friends all over Europe and much more.
The Volunteer Programme includes for example working for the organising committee, supporting the organisers in the competition fields (global coordination, manning information desks, communication between the organising committee and referees, guests).
In the frame of the Volunteer Programme, full board is provided during the time of the event (and training), with transfer from the official airport/station covered; volunteers only have to ensure their travel costs to the event.
