• attending and reporting project partner meetings and events

You will be located in Eberswalde, close to Berlin. Eberswalde is also called the “Forest town” due to many forests around it, including the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Schorfheide-Chorin. You will be financially supported with €28 per day for the duration of the volunteership.
