Speaker: Rebecca Kilian-Mason, supervisor
Many volunteers dedicate themselves to their task with enthusiasm and energy.
But sometimes it becomes too much and it's not that easy to differentiate yourself well. How can this be successfully achieved?
What are my needs and how can I take better care of them? Why do I even get involved? What is my role? How and where do I draw my boundaries? And how can I communicate them well? In this workshop we will address these questions and develop strategies to strengthen and reflect on our volunteer work.
