4.1.3. Grundtvig for adult education It’s never too late to learn – the existence of this proverb in most languages illustrates that learning has never been conceived as an exclusive undertaking for young people. The European Commission supports continuing and after-school education via the sub-programme called Grundtvig. Look at the information brochures about the Grundtvig programme or visit a website in your national language and try to find answers to the following questions (check the correct answers at the end of module): How many components does the Grundtvig programme currently have How many of these are aimed at supporting individual mobility According to the Lifelong Learning Programme Guide 2009, the Grundtvig sub-programme “addresses the teaching and learning needs relating to all forms of adult learning which are not of a predominantly vocational nature, as well as the institutions and organisations providing or facilitating any form of such learning opportunities for adults – whether of a formal, non-formal or informal nature – including those involved in the initial and in-service training of staff.” Do you know any local / regional / national organisations that would / could be eligible for the Grundtvig programme Do you know any individuals who could apply for a Grundtvig mobility grant 4.1.4. Grundtvig case studies Exercise / Self-study / Discuss Read about some projects undertaken by institutions and individuals within various Grundtvig actions. Try to match each case study to the names of the Grundtvig actions you learned about in the previous section (check the correct answers at the end of module): A) A group of 10 people from different European countries participated in a one week long workshop in Romania, where they studied traditional handicrafts (wool processing, weaving and feltmaking) and folk art. During the one week workshop they received an insight into the history of traditional Transylvanian handicrafts, the use of handmade objects in traditional peasant society, the role of handicrafts in modern societies as well as handicrafts as a way of artistic self-expression. The costs of the workshop were partly covered under the ________________ Grundtvig action of the LLP. B) Four people from Hungary and four from Denmark, all aged above 50, have been volunteering in each other’s countries working with non-profit disabled children’s institutions. Their home organisations applied for a ________________ Grundtvig grant to support this volunteering exchange. C) Anna Kovac, trainer at the School for Inclusive Education in Prague, participated in a five-day training course in Spain entitled Education and tackling drop-out and disaffection in schools. She was supported by the European Commission under the ________________ Grundtvig action. D) European Computer Network – Opening the internet up for the elderly (EuCoNet) is a project in which partners from six different European countries (DE, IT, CZ, ES, SK, and the UK) developed learning and teaching methods for senior citizens and exchanged existing approaches like peer-learning and intergenerational learning. The project was supported under the ________________ Grundtvig action. 68
Module 4 – The Grundtvig Initiative on Volunteering in Europe for Seniors (GIVE) Unit 4.2. Unit in a nutshell Achievements Volunteering as a form of Active Citizenship Definition and discussion of forms and principles of volunteering Presentation of volunteering opportunities for senior citizens After this unit you will be able to: define more clearly what volunteering can be identify organisations that work with volunteers at the local, national and European levels identify what the most important aspects of a volunteering project are. The highest reward for man's toil is not what he gets for it, but what he becomes by it. (John Ruskin) Warming up: My idea of volunteering: Is it usual for people in your community to volunteer What are the most popular forms of volunteering Have you ever volunteered Thinking about these questions, write down two sentences starting with “Volunteering is…” Compare your sentences with those of your colleagues.

Official approach towards volunteering Listen / Read The United Nations Volunteers Report, prepared for the UN General Assembly Special Session on Social Development, Geneva, in February 2001, defines volunteering as follows: There are three key defining characteristics of volunteering. Firstly the activity should not be undertaken primarily for financial reward, although the reimbursement of expenses and some token payment may be allowed. Secondly the activity should be undertaken voluntarily, according to an individual’s own free-will (…). Thirdly the activity should be of benefit to someone other than the volunteer, or to society at large, although it is recognised that volunteering brings significant benefit to the volunteer as well. (Excerpt) How much does your opinion differ from what this official definition states 4.2.2. Types of volunteering Please undertake some brief “research” within your group concerning which kind of volunteer activities are represented the most by answering the following questions: Do you currently actively participate in or do voluntary work for one or more of the following types of organisations - Environmental protection or animal rights organisation - Political party or organisation - Leisure association for the elderly 69
