CHAIRING TEAM:

We would love to welcome you as part of our legendary chairing team!! That’s why I am opening the call for Main Chair, Vice Chair, and Technical Chair for NA61.

         - a short description of why you want to be part of the team 

Pros of being CT:

*As part of ESN Lithuania’s commitment to sustainability, flights will not be reimbursed for travel distances of less than 400 km (measured as direct/airline distance between the origin and destination). For trips under 400 km, participants are expected to choose more sustainable modes of transportation, such as train or bus. Travel costs for flights on these routes are not eligible for funding.

The CT is announced soon after application deadline so that you have a chance to still find cheap transport. 

Please find our CT guidelines attached. If you’re ready to bring order, structure, and some good laughs to our fun assembly, we can’t wait to see your application! In case of further questions, contact events@esn.lt. The best airports to arrive are Vilnius, Kaunas and Palanga (last one very small so less flights). 

Thank you for reading till here and have a great weekend ahead!

It has been an amazing experience to listen to all the amazing practices you have in your National Organisations over the past months - you are not only sharing with your peers, but also building the future of the Network! Based on this, together with NEC, we believe it's time to showcase the strength of this community and the work we have been doing, and bring it together with these best practices. 

We are collecting best practices in two fields: 

- Knowledge Transfer: practices that can be used during both transition periods, but also in moments of training or when we try to inform our sections about specific topics. How do we transfer the knowledge between levels and between volunteers in our National Organisations?

- Volunteer Wellbeing: practices that help to guarantee good conditions, physical, mental, or others, for our volunteers, for them to be able to practice their activity without compromising any part of their own wellbeing. 

Our goal is to create materials that gather best practices and their implementation to provide opportunities for other NOs and/or local sections to develop new processes with their own structure. To do so, click on the topics to access a Google Form to submit the best practices. 

Deadline: 25/05
