Mid Term Meeting (MTE) - online

Mid Term Meeting (MTE) is dedicated to volunteers, trainees and employees involved in activities longer than 6 months in Romania in the framework of the European Solidarity Corps and Erasmus + (EVS).

About the meeting

MTE is a mandatory meeting for the participants in volunteering, traineeships and jobs activities longer than 6 months in the framework of European Solidarity Corps and Erasmus+ European Voluntary Service. It is part of the Training and Evaluation Cycle.

• Identify possibilities and opportunities to continue their involvement into solidarity and the life of their community;
• Identify ways to cope with COVID-19 National and International contexts that are affecting the personal and project experience.

The meeting will still be based on non-formal education and aims to give participants a full experience.
