Not long ago, a one-day educational seminar was held for volunteers of the «Origins of Mercy» project.

The workshop was intended for already experienced volunteers, in order to increase their personal effectiveness. On this day, our psychologist Lyudmila Semina — Gitsu gave an interesting lesson for volunteers on the topic of professional and emotional exhaustion, the volunteers learned about the principles of planning and time allocation and also took part in a brainstorming on project optimization.

We managed to create 25 ideas for new projects and optimization options for existing ones, so that volunteering is as effective as possible for both volunteers and older project clients. In the near future, we intend to implement all these ideas and not be satisfied with what has already been done.
