Participation in a project for volunteers will have a significant impact on personal and professional growth as it complements existing knowledge. Volunteers are expected to continue their activities after the project, thus ensuring the project’s impact on a large scale, as the activities and experience gained from local young people in Latvia, as young people in their country of residence, will provide information on the experience of volunteering and the opportunities offered by the Erasmus+ programme.
