Participants are required to follow the current rules related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently (as of March 2022), individuals entering Poland must present a covid passport or a negative antigen test done no later than 48 hours prior to arrival in Poland. Knowing the current entry rules is the responsibility of the participants as they may differ for each of the countries participating in the training. In addition, participants are required to purchase their own appropriate insurance to cover costs associated with e.g. hospitalization, prolonged stay due to participant's isolation in case of COVID-19 infection and rescheduling of return to their country. Regarding the safety issues of the participants related to the ongoing war in Ukraine, we would like to inform you that Poland is safe and its membership in NATO provides a guarantee of its territorial integrity.

We suggest that you take a flight either to Poznań or Berlin. From both cities there are direct trains to Świebodzin

• from POZNAŃ GŁÓWNY to ŚWIEBODZIN the train takes one hour,
• from BERLIN to ŚWIEBODZIN - two hours

Our meeting point on the 15th of May will be Świebodzin train station, from where we will take you in two rounds of buses directly to the place where the training will take place (Darnawa village, 13 km away from Świebodzin). Departure times of the buses will be given closer to the event, after gathering information from all participants about their arrival times to Świebodzin.

Participants from each country have a specific limit for travel expenses. This limit is in line with the distance calculator approved by the European Commission. The amount indicated in the distance calculator will be reduced by the cost of transfer from the train station in Świebodzin to the village where the training will take place and back (approximately 20 EUR).

The more documents confirming the trip and the costs you have spent, the better. So do not throw away any tickets or receipts.
