[ CEV General Assembly and Symposium ´Volunteering and Active Citizenship: Two sides of the same coin?´Link defekt? Bitte melden! ]

While aspects of volunteering are widely discussed and the need to value and recognize voluntary activities is highlighted, we are still lacking a profound discussion on the link and interdependence between volunteering and active citizenship. How does volunteering complement active citizenship – and the other way around? Where do we draw the borderline? Or is volunteering a means to perpetuate the state of affairs instead of questioning the reality? These are the pressing issues participants will explore at the CEV Symposium „Volunteering and Active Citizenship: Two sides of the same coin?“. The Symposium aims to accomplish the following main objectives: - To further grasp the link between volunteering and active citizenship; - To ensure a space for debate starting from concrete, specific projects implemented at local level by comparing and contrasting similar projects from across Europe; - To identify the most effective ways to empower citizens to be active through volunteering. The deadline to register is 26th September 2011.
