In the framework of the project RESTART, the UNESCO Chair and Jean Monnet Chair at Marin Barleti University, organized a two day training course on solidarity and the rights of the refugees in Europe. Through a combination of formal and non formal education sessions, the participants learned and discussed about the refugee crisis. Particular attention was  granted to the interactive methods to be used during the 16 days voluntary program in Lesvos (Greece) in October 2017. The training provides all the necessary skills for the volunteers to take part in the project successfully including an intercultural training on the different cultures of the refugees.
