On the 6th of June 2023, the informative session was held on “The Model of Operation of the Project Sunflowers Application Form”. During the session it was be explained how the volunteers need to react when a new request to share information online is registered. All volunteers need to be trained of filling in the form, as they all need to be prepared for assisting the victims with filling in the form.

The meeting for volunteers was moderated by Ewa Hofmańska, Ph.D and was a joint event of the Project Sunflowers and EU Project Pravo-Justice.

We would like to invite you to a new series of training sessions for Polish volunteers of the Project Sunflowers: working with trauma. The training will be led by Joanna Czaplińska, psychologist and EMDR therapist, and Izabela Trybus, psychotherapist and supervisor, from the Polish Centre for Torture Survivors. This training is the result of the Sunflowers Project’s collaboration with The Polish Centre for Torture Survivors in preparing Sunflowers Project volunteers to work with people who will be filling in the application form to collect information about evidence of crimes committed in Ukraine and their victims.

The first part of the training will take place on 12 May 2023, at 18:00 CET, in a remote format. We will announce the second part of the training later (this part of the training will take place 2-3 weeks apart after the first part of the training). The order of registration is decisive. Places are limited.

The training for English-speaking volunteers will take place on a separate date, which will be announced soon.
