Hello dears!

Finally I came back with more info for you in order to make our training “Go for more” to move forward. Thank you very much for cooperation. You are my best support till I collect the team.

What I ask you for now is to make sure that you got clear what are the conditions, and take care that participants that you will sent also are aware and clear with the conditions.

So let’s go. It’s some kind of info letter. But I will send real letter with applications a bit later. Latest till 20^th of June. For now it’s only practical info. The best is if you will forward all this info to those who are potential participants. But I will talk in this e-mail as to you. I will use a lot the word “participant”, so if they read, they know it’s about them.

Here it is the information:

1.     Time and place

2.     Team

3.     Participants:

-         Profile

-         Number of participants

-         Participation fee

4.     Travel costs & money back

5.     Insurance

1.     Time and place.

Training takes place 60km from Vilnius. We will bring participants form Vilnius to the place and back by bus.

It is 8 days training.

Arrival is on 17^th of July till 19h in Vilnius (meeting point I will tell in info letter)

Training starts on 18^th of July (morning)

Training stops on 25^th (evening)

Departure is on 26^th of July till 10h from place.

Bus leaving time from training place to Vilnius we will set when we know what are the most repeating hours of participant’s departure from Vilnius.

Important!

The owners of accommodation have very small doubt (like 1% :) that the dates that reserved the accommodation can be bad for them. So we will know if the dates are ok for 100% in the morning of 6^th of June! So if participants can reserve ticket now and pay for it latest on 6^th of June (this Wednesday), then please make sure that they do so (reserve tickets now). I will let you know are the dates ok in till afternoon of 6^th of June. What I ask you to do is to take care that participants also know if the dates are ok, before they pay for tickets. That’s it.

Next. If there is someone who needs to come earlier it’s them own responsibility to take care of sleeping place before or after the training. What we can do is support in getting participants in contact with some Lithuanians, so they can ask personally for sleeping place. Any way at least let me know, if there is this kind of situation. So I know what happens.

2.     Team.

I am taking care of it. You don’t need to worry. But if you know someone who did next step and would like to be co-trainer, please tell me asap.

3.     Participants.

- Profile:

Only those who did any type first step Synergy training. And those who are planning to apply for any exchange or Synergy training during 2008. I know that some of you already have participants but they don’t planning to apply project during 2008. Sorry for being late with this last condition. In this case what I ask you, please see if you can get those who willing to apply. If you cannot get them till 10^th of June, then sent those that you already have. Also let them know that any way they will be busy with making projects. Could be that after this training they will decide to apply :) That would be great result. It doesn’t cost to apply anyway. So I believe that you will motivate them easy to be ready to apply. They do not need to have concrete dates, topics, or partners in order to be ready for applying. They need only to want to do it, so they can learn in the training and then make it work at home.

- Number of participants

Important!

As you know I am still collecting the team (co-trainers). In the table there are the numbers including the co-trainers too. So what I want you to do is:

1.     Take care that you have the number of participants that is now on the table.

2.     And keep one of your participant as extra participant. I explain what I mean by extra.

The one who is extra, don’t buy ticket till I say to buy. It means that he needs to wait for my confirmation if he/she can come or not. I know that it makes ticket more expensive because of less time till tripe, but at the moment this is what I can do. I will collect the team latest on 20^th of June. So the one who is extra will know if he/she can come latest on 20^th of June.

Which one is extra, it’s up to you to decided. You know better who is doing what at your country and for whom it’s more important to do this training.

Numbers of participants (including co-trainers)

-       Participation fee

Before I tell you conditions of the finance I want you to know something. The thing is that National Agency will get money from above during July-August. They don’t know when it is going to happen exactly. It means that we also will get money for the training latest in August.

Next thing is connected with travel money back.

4.     Travel costs & money back

In this situation what we say is that we will give to participants travel money back for sure only in the end of August. In this case we will send you money back by bank transfer. Could be that National Agency will send us money during the training, so we will be available to give travel money back before participants leave.

This is the table with the amount of travel money that we will cover from 100% of ticket price. As usually we will cover 70%. This is something that doesn’t changes somehow :)

Travel money back:

5.     Insurance

 We don’t cover insurance. It is participants responsibility to take care that they have it.

Let me know how are you doing with participants from tomorrow and keep me updated. Participants also can contact me personally. That’s ok for me.

For a moment that’s it. If there is something you want to ask, please do so. Doesn’t matter if you are participant, contact person or already co-trainer. Ask if you have something to ask.

Make your life easier ;)

Thank you again for you support guys. I really appreciate it.

Love, Ignas
