The project:
Ahead of the European Year of Volunteering 2011, European citizens organizations should enhance the methodological knowledge to set-up, develop and materialize European wide volunteer projects integrating intercultural learning and European identity promotion. The aim of such projects, apart from contributing to social, environmental and human needs at a European wide level, they evidently promote volunteering itself, and have a multiplicator effect. In such a way, citizens that participate in such European wide volunteer projects are challenged by the fact that they belong to a European culture together with their local culture which makes them realize that they are part of a wider cultural heritage, the European cultural heritage that respects cultural diversity, human rights, is tolerant, democratic and cosmopolitan.
The project is jointly organized by SCI Hellas (Greece), InformaGiovani (Italy), DeAmiciatia (Spain) and Association Realization (Croatia) with the support of the Europe for Citizens programme of the European Union. The project comprises of three activities, a conference and two trainings:
a. a Conference under the title "All about volunteering",
b. a training entitled "Project Management: Realizing ideas" and
c. a training entitled "Intercultural learning: Beyond tolerance".
The project's activities will use the non-formal education methodology (active contribution of the participants, games, experience-sharing e.tc.). The participants will act as multipliers concerning the themes of the trainings to their local organizations. The aim of the trainings is to create a 'one-day introduction training' including a 'tool-kit' both in print and electronic format on project management and intercultural learning. The principal contribution of this project to the European dimension is the development of a common methodological approach for Citizens Organisations necessary for the success of the events foreseen for the forthcoming European Volunteering Year 2011 all over Europe.
The Conference “All About Volunteering”
The Conference’s aim is to provide an introduction to the challenges and opportunities volunteering faces in the 21st century, coming from a tradition of charity to being considered as a considerable economical factor. The Conference will focus on the issues of volunteering and employment and the role of volunteering in inclusion. Volunteering will be approached from both a theoretical and a practical dimension as both speeches on different aspects of volunteering and visits to volunteering projects are scheduled in addition to sharing of volunteers’ own experiences. A presentation of the funding tools for volunteering at an EU level is also foreseen.
