SALTO EuroMed is looking for participants to its future South-Med Volunteering Community of Practices. This year, the CoP will focus on the impact of volunteering on the organisations, the communities and the volunteers.

The members of the CoP will be actively engaged in discussing approaches to create and assess impact of volunteering schemes on different levels. The members are asked to take an active role in defining, assessing, and eventually disseminating practices & approaches connected to local realities. It is a working group of practitioners who will share experiences, reflect critically on current volunteering practices and co-create practical outputs that can be used in daily work.

The objectives of the CoP are:

• To develop a shared understanding of volunteering impact on young people, organisations, and communities in the Euro-Med context.
• To co-create a practical tool to assess and strengthen the impact of volunteering, based on real practices.
• To foster Euro-Med cooperation by connecting practitioners and encouraging future partnerships and joint initiatives.

There will be 5 online meetings of 2 hours, attendance to all the meetings is requested for the CoP to reach its aim. The dates are the following:

• 12th June 3 PM CEST – 5 PM CEST
• 1st July 3 PM CEST – 5 PM CEST
• 15th July 3 PM CEST – 5 PM CEST
• 9th September 3 PM CEST – 5 PM CEST
