The volunteer never works alone in the project. There are regular guide conversations held between the volunteer and the project, in which the work and insets of the volunteer are with him/her evaluated and reflected. So that all the questions can be cleared, problems detected and difficulties can be fixed.
The volunteer is not only involved in the project and co-work in the team but he /she is as well integrated in a network of volunteers, who are staying in or around Würzburg accomplishing their EVS. The coordinator from the supporting organization offers regularly appointments for all volunteers. This is as well the chance for volunteers to discuss potential difficulties in the project, in relation to culture, living, forming a living on her/his own, homesickness and others. Because of this it may be possible to uncover the problems quite early and to handle it before the escalation shall come. Due to the fact that the coordinator from the supporting organization is almost every time reachable, the volunteers have the possibility to have a contact person out of the project with whom they can talk about their crisis situation, e.g. problems between the volunteer and the project; as well the talks to clear the situation can be held.
