Fortbildung ehrenamtlicher Mitarbeiter/innen in Europa
This training partnership aims to allow partner organisations to exchange information about training courses and
methods for volunteers working in the social field in Europe. The emphasis is on learning about training already
available in the partner countries and discussions about possible future developments. A central topic here is improving
the participation of volunteers in society. The public administrations’ declining social budgets mean that volunteers are
making an increasingly important contribution to social work in the Member States and are thus supporting the work of
professional organisations. It is therefore becoming more and more important that social service organisations develop
and provide attractive training offers for their voluntary staff. These must take account of the target group’s educational
and professional backgrounds, their time allocation as well as their personal motivation. Training for volunteers should
also provide them with more confidence both in the work they are doing and society generally. Both teachers/trainers
and volunteers from the partner organisations will take part in the exchange programme ensuring that their views, as
those directly affected, are included in the project work. The partners will share information about the type and design
of training courses for volunteers in their areas of work and compare their similarities and differences.
