My pathway to a volunteering experience
My pathway to a volunteering experience
Content
Welcome to your pathway to a volunteering experience!
This learning playlist consists of a range of activities which aim to lead you step by step to the volunteering opportunity of your dreams!
The value of international youth-work: In the first opportunity you can discover the value of youth work. A volunteering service is closely related to the topic and therefore it´s useful to know about it.
Volunteering experience: What is that? In the second activity you can explore what a volunteering experience is if you don´t know yet. We especially want to introduce you to the European Solidarity Corps, which is funded by the European Commission.
Is it the right track? In the third activity you get the opportunity to check yourself. Is a volunteering experience the right track for you?
Find your perfect match! The fourth activity helps you to find the perfect match: the volunteering experience of your dreams!
Tips and tricks to your application: In the fifth activity we offer you tips and tricks to a hopefully successful application.
My successful participation: And finally it´s time to tell your own story of your volunteering experience in the last activity!
This playlist is created by Cities of Learning, an international network of youth organizations. We want to encourage people to use the many opportunities that are out there.
