Description
Presented project is aiming to strengthen and improve the potential that we see in Brno, and therefore in the South Moravian Region, in the field of volunteering. We offer solutions to current problems: the conceptual work in the region, addressing new volunteers, the need to professionalize organizations regarding their work with volunteers, networking and a joint event. We see informing the public about the activities of NGOs, understanding our work and involving the public in activities in the local community as essential. Project is focused on the general public, youth (15 - 30 years), NGOs and informal groups, and representatives of municipalities. We will organize a PR campaign to promote volunteering opportunities for the public in the region, including information about the potential of NGOs to raise active civic participation. PR campaign will include usage of social media, creation of videos and dissemination of evaluation questionnaires. Youth will be provided with volunteering opportunities consultations, regular meetings focused on strengthening civic competencies and project management and one weekend seminar resulting in support and implementation of 2 local youth projects. Intense networking with NGOs will be supported by holding regular business breakfasts, networking event and conference, providing NGOs with the space for exchange of good practise and plan for successful motivation and recruitment of new volunteers. We will organise public event “Volunteering days” involving regional NGOs to promote their volunteering programs and raise awareness about impact of their work among public. We will organize participative meetings for representatives of regional municipalities and local stakeholders to create regional volunteering support conception.
