On 14th and 15th September 2015 the partners of the project ViPER “Volunteers in Playwork – Employment Routes”, co-funded by the former Lifelong Learning Programme (Transfer of Innovation (ToI) action) of the European Commission, met for their fifth and final international meeting in Olomouc, Czech Republic.
During the meeting, the partners from England, Portugal, Italy, Czech Republic, Turkey and Austria discussed the final results and concluding steps of the ViPER project. In the course of the project a training course for volunteers working with children had been tested in all partner countries. Its aim is to teach how to support children’s free play. After the piloting phase of the ViPER course, which took place between March and May 2015, the partners adapted the Trainer and Learner Manuals of the training course. At the meeting CESIE presented the final versions of the manuals to the partners.
Partners further agreed on concluding activities of the project, including a sustainability plan. It will ensure that the project’s results will be made available and used beyond the lifetime of the project. CESIE will shortly publish the manuals and additional training material on its digital library.
