Context & plan of our project
The involved partners have been welcoming young volunteers for a long time and have
been confronted with various difficult situations such as the lack of initiative of the
volunteer or of specific skills to carry out the tasks and to manage situations of conflict
and stress. NGOs sometimes lack a training strategy and preparation of young people for
their mission, which leads to problems of adaptation of the volunteer which impact
his/her motivation and therefore the impact of his/her activity in the host community,
particularly for the young people with fewer opportunities/special needs who need
personalized support. E-learning is an effective additional means of providing training
and support adapted to volunteers. For these reasons, we have created a learning
platform (www.learn2volunteer.com) integrating useful educational content to carry out
their missions. With the “Learn2Volunteer Reloaded” project, we want to improve it and
continue to meet the needs of volunteers with new innovative educational tools,
following the priorities of the European Solidarity Corps program. Our goals :
- To identify the changing needs of actors in the solidarity action of young people to
modernize tools for training, tutoring and dissemination. - To promote innovative online teaching methods and tools adapted to the varied needs
of young volunteers to improve their key skills and strengthen the impact of their
activities. - To provide continuous and personalized support to volunteers, especially with fewer
opportunities, through innovative training tools and remote tutoring. - To facilitate exchanges between young people and those involved in volunteering
projects and allow wide dissemination of their activities. - To enable youth workers in volunteering projects to exchange good practices and
develop mentoring skills.
Our project is structured into 18 progressive and complementary activities allowing
networking, the development of key competencies of young volunteers and Ementors
in the areas in question, the putting into practice of volunteer missions, the
exchange of good practices, through the improvement of the current platform
https://learn2volunteer.com/ , creation of new intellectual outputs related to our
platform, and also caring promotional activities to multiply the beneficiaries and to
insure the sustainability of our project
