e-volunteering – building online volunteering eco system

ongoing

Through this project we are planning to increase the quality in the work of YOs in terms of e-volunteering, by building their capacities in attracting, engaging, managing and coordinating e-volunteers on a transnational level through a structured and multifunctional e-volunteering ecosystem, as urgently required in this digital transformation of youth work, and enable a smooth transition to e-volunteering through innovative approaches, digital tools and methods. As a result, cross-sectoral cooperation in the youth field will be strengthened, and youth participation will be significantly empowered. MAIN AIM is to enable the transformation and change of transnational volunteering practices, by using new approaches introduced through a sustainable e-volunteering ecosystem. We are planning to do this by reaching the specific objectives of our project, which are the following: SO1: to analyze policies, needs and practices of cross sectoral stakeholders involved in young people volunteering in general and online volunteering in particular SO2: to develop sustainable e-volunteering ecosystem involving tools, standards and recognition models SO3: to raise capacities of youth organizations across Europe to introduce transnational e-volunteering SO4: to develop policy recommendation targeting standardization and promotion of cross sectoral and transnational e-volunteering SO5: to raise awareness of need and advocate for support and recognition of e-volunteering Project will achieve following results: Project works on achieving these objectives through 6 work packages introduced in application. This project is aiming to reinforce the current transnational volunteering practices through a sustainable e-volunteering ecosystem which will introduce innovative, up-to-date, efficient and impactful approaches. In order to achieve this we have to address all actors involved in the field of volunteering, covering all sides of the coin, throughout the phases of the project.
