By the end of this year, it is planned to hold trainings at the national level in each of the project partner countries, as well as an edition at the European level, which will be online in English.

Participants in the trainings will have the opportunity to improve their skills in using various digital tools and learn innovative methods and techniques for monitoring and evaluation, incl. preparing a strategy and action plan for organizing remote internships.

The training will last 30 hours and will include a combination of lectures and individual classes through an electronic platform specially developed within the project. Participation in the trainings will be free of charge, and certificates will be issued to the successfully completed participants.
