Second Volunteerism Promotion Campaign is to take place on 16-31 August
by Anna Belousova
17 May 2008 After implementation of last year’s International Volunteerism Promotion campaign, the organisers received very positive feedback from its participants, both International volunteers and Ukrainian youth in the villages visited by the campaign. Following these recommendations together with our partner organisation “Alternative-V” we have started preparation for the second campaign shaped as a volunteer work camp. This year, International volunteers will visit 6 villages in Rivne and Zhytomir oblast in the North of Ukraine. Their activity will consist of two components. First, international volunteers will conduct a workshop on volunteerism for their Ukrainian peers. The aim for such seminar is to discuss with Ukrainian youngsters the benefits of being an active citizen, possibility of influencing own life as well as life of your community, participation in decision making etc. And then, together with Ukrainian peers, volunteers will help them started by laying out sport playground, arranging a park or translating nameboards in local museum into English. While UNV is busy with development of the programme and consultancy of hosting partners, Alternative-V selects suitable volunteers for this work camp. If you wish to become one of them, please see the camp description and guidelines on how to apply for the camp. |
