Description
Based on the analysis carried out by Project Bag Association, rural areas in Ciuc Basin have insufficient volunteer services, which leads to a low level of participation of citizens in the local community life. On the other hand, many NGOs face difficulties in attracting human and financial capital. Young people are discouraged by the idea of volunteering due to a lack of clear and transparent information and communication about volunteering opportunities in the area. Thus, the project aims to increase the visibility of NGOs in the target area by creating an online platform (available to NGOs, citizens and companies) to facilitate the creation of partnerships between NGOs, to strengthen their role as a catalyst for active citizenship and to increase their capacity to attract human and financial capital. The expected outcome of the project will be a better promotion of volunteering opportunities and civic activism among young people. Promoting volunteering will be an important component in jointly finding and implementing various solutions that address community problems, including combating the effects of climate change. Another outcome will be to reduce the bureaucratic burden for NGOs by providing a set of standard documents needed for their daily work. Up to 1,500 youth aged 14-19 and 100 -150 under 35, volunteers, employees, members of 30-40 NGOs will benefit from the project. As partners, Green Szeklerland Association brings to this project more than 15 years of experience in the field of environmental education and VOX Iuventutis Associations brings more than 10 years of experience in volunteer management and is responsible for promoting the ''''professional volunteering'''' model.
