Background
In 2017 several non-profit organisations founded an international network called “The GloRe Network”, with the purpose of fostering the development of innovative ways of recognition of volunteering. The Network currently counts on over 40 members from Europe, Turkey and Latin America. In March 2020 we launched The GloRe Certification System that enables volunteers to assess 25 soft skills and get the certificate. The System was created as a result of two Capacity Building in the field of Youth and 2 EuropeAid project in the last 5 years. The GloRe Network is willing to involve more volunteers and NGOs all over the world and therefore we designed this project.

Travel costs and fee
Food and accommodation will be 100% covered. For travel costs we will refund on the basis of distance calculator. As we decided to implement the training not anymore in Milan, but in a remote area, the hosting costs are reduced. For this reason we don’t have anymore a membership fee. Nevertheless, to reach Ligonchio we will rent a bus from Milan passing by Reggio Emilia (for participants landing in Bologna), that will have a cost of 50€ per participant, that will be deducted from the travel costs reimbursement. So for example, if you have 275€ according with distance calculator you will not pay any fee if you spend 225€ or less.
Venue
The activities will take place at Ostello dei Balocchi. Participants will stay in double or triple rooms with toilet inside. The food will be provided inside the venue.
