Be a Volunteer’s first newsletter is here
The Be a Volunteer! project began in March 2024 and now the partners are ready to share their first newsletter with you.
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 programs will be designed and used to support volunteering coordinators and people with disabilities to participate in inclusive volunteering activities.
About the newsletter
In the newsletter you can find information on everything that the partners have been up to these past months – from collection of practices to a Competences and Skills Development training in Bulgaria, it’s all here!
Within a few shorts months there have been a lot of firsts. The project partners have held their first meeting and worked on the project’s first results – the compilation of a Handbook of Best Practices. They also held the first training session of the project in Sofia, Bulgaria, this July.
The training brought together 35 participants – young people with disabilities, youth workers, and non-disabled young people from Bulgaria, Hungary, North Macedonia, Italy and Spain.
