WINGS - Ways to Innovate and Nurture Genuine Solidarity

The Project comes also from the willing of the partners to strengthen the relationships with municipalities from the involved European Countries. The Countries involved should bring their experiences related to volunteering, especially for what concerns the volunteering activities during the pandemic. The discussions are going to be based on inclusion and recovery policies, adopted from each different Country.
