Ako funguje výberový proces? V dostatočnom čase po zverejnení výzvy (spravidla po 10 dňoch) hodnotíme prichádzajúce prihlášky a oslovujeme účastníkov pre potvrdenie účasti. Pokiaľ ponuka už nie je viditeľná na stránke Hľadáme účastníkov, projekt je obsadený a nie je možné sa hlásiť, zároveň ak ste nedostali potvrdzovací email, z kapacitných dôvodov vás bohužiaľ nemôžeme vyslať. Vzhľadom na vyšší záujem nie je v našich silách vždy odpovedať na prihlášky účastníkov, ktorí neboli vybraní. Ďakujeme za pochopenie.
