Debriefing Pack

Congratulations on completing your international Volunteering placement with Project Trust! We hope you had a fantastic experience and made friendships and memories to last a lifetime.

We were sorry not to see you on Coll for Debriefing, but would love to hear from you and stay in touch. Debriefing is a chance to reconnect with each other and process the experiences you’ve just had, but also to help you come back to your lives in the UK and feed back to us about what we did well, and where we can improve.

To this end, we would like to offer these opportunities online, and are delighted to invite you to an Online Debriefing course on the 1st of October at 6pm.

Register to attend our Debriefing Online!
Tuesday the 1^st of October, 6:00-7:30pm
