A few throwbacks to the conference days!
Wie hat es sich angefühlt, Volunteer zu sein? Während unserer Zeit als Volunteers für die IFTR haben wir viele Eindrücke gesammelt, die wir in unserem Podcast mit euch teilen wollen. Wir geben unseren Erinnerungen und besonders prägenden Momenten eine Bühne und bieten drei persönliche Einblicke in das Volunteer-Programm − vor, während und nach der Konferenz. Auch wenn wir als Volunteers während der IFTR immer präsent, hör- und sichtbar waren, waren es unsere Gedanken und Eindrücke sicherlich nicht. Nehmt Platz und lasst uns das Programm und unsere jeweiligen Gedanken Revue passieren lassen.

Ever wondered what it felt like to be a volunteer? As IFTR-volunteers we have collected tons of impressions that we want to share with all of you. Our podcast aims to make special and memorable moments during the program tangible to give our personal recollections the attention that they deserve. We want to keep it a laid back and personal talk while we offer a look behind the scenes of three volunteer-experiences. Although we were present during the entire conference we are sure that our thoughts were not as obvious. Take a seat and have a listen as we revisit the program and our respective thoughts.
