Volunteering Ireland and Southeastern European Youth Network are hosting a week long volunteer management training course in Krusevac, Serbia, involving 40 participants from Southeast European (SEE) and EU countries.
Topic: "Innovations in Management of Volunteering Services through European Cooperation and EVS Promotion”.
It is a learning event to build high-standard competences of volunteer management to local, national and/or European level volunteer services (with special focus on EVS) within the SEE and EU, and enhancing visibility of those services in order to engage and involve young people who are geographically, socially, economically, culturally and physically challenged.
Through training, idea sharing, and practical application activities, the aim is to prepare volunteer managers to return to their organisations ready to disseminate and apply what they have learned in the training course. This is part of a broader mission to help promote development and promotion of civic participation and voluntary activity as part of an international community of volunteer management practice and expertise.
There will be sessions presented by influential and experienced individuals and organisations in the field of volunteering, such as SALTO SEE RC, Voluntary Service Overseas, SPES (Italy), Mr. Karl Monsen-Elvik (Scotland), and SEEYN experts.
Where: Krusevac, Serbia
Lodging and board are completely covered by the hosting organisations;
