Here are a few sneak peeks:

• The project has held its international training week in Tihany, where nearly 50 young people with disabilities from five countries came together to learn, connect, and prepare for their volunteering journey.
• The volunteering period has started, with participants already making a difference in their local communities in various ways. From supporting animal care to joining cultural and educational activities, the key message is that everyone has value and something unique to give to their community.
• Each partner country is now launching its own volunteering activities. Stay tuned to learn about the progress and stories of the participants in the next newsletter.

About the project

The Be a Volunteer! project aims to develop and strengthen the skills of young people (aged 16-30) with disabilities, enhancing their employability and active social participation focusing on volunteer activities.

The project will utilise non-formal educational methods for the training of young individuals, with an emphasis on experiential learning. Throughout the project, skill-building programmes will be designed and used to support volunteering coordinators and people with disabilities to participate in inclusive volunteering activities.
