Volunteering has always played an important role in many sectors as varied and diverse as education, youth, culture, sport, environment, health, social care, consumer protection, humanitarian aid, development policy, research, equal opportunities and external relations, and for a long time its contribution was not officially recognized. Volunteering is a core expression of civic participation. Volunteering has evolved at a different pace across and outside the EU. While some countries have long-standing volunteering traditions, in others, the voluntary sector is still poorly developed or has yet to emerge. Therefore with this project we aim to strengthen the capacities and network among youth organizations and municipalities from the Program and Partner countries in order to improve the youth participation’ and active citizenship’ abilities through volunteering.The concrete objectives are the following:- to support youth organisations in increasing their capacity in the field of youth work;- to increase participants’ competences to disseminate learning achievements within youth NGOs and youth work on local, national and international level;- to equip youth workers with the knowledge and tools to effectively work with youth, including youth with fewer opportunities, through developing positive image of volunteering;- to encourage networking among NGOs and municipalities and create space for project building, especially in Erasmus+ context;- to foster quality improvements in youth work through international cooperation and volunteering;- to create space for sharing knowledge and exchanging experiences and good practices with the atmosphere of common understanding between people representing different cultures, working styles, etc.- to promote volunteerism and to spread information about Erasmus+ and other European opportunities on local, national and international levels.The project methodology is based on non-formal education, experiential and interculturallearning with strong encouragement of sharing personal experiences, knowledge and best practices.Our project will involve not only youth workers, but also representatives of municipalities and the youth themselves. This CBA project has not only a deep theoretical basis for gaining knowledge and improving competencies, but also the opportunity to implement volunteering projects in practice and to get results throughout the different stages of CBA.This project is the collective initiative of the organizations developing projects in the framework of Erasmus+ Programme. And thanks to the great experience of each of the organizations, we believe that the joint project will strengthen and improve the competencies of each of the involved parties and will expand partnership work.
