During the study visit, the participants visited different projects coordinating by VPV
and CSDS, including caring project (Phuc Tue Center, Morning Star Center,
Vietnam Friendship Village, Thuy An Center), teaching project (Nghia Tan primary
school, Hanoi High School for Gifted Students, Vietnam Forestry University) and
youth project (the Sustainable Development Challenges project at CSDS). Furthermore, the participants experienced the life of a volunteer (accommodation, cultural exchange, presentation of own country) and had a chance to visit some spots of cultural and historical interest. The study visit created a good base for future cooperation in sending and hosting volunteeres among the participating organisations, and especially for cooperation with VPV.
