V 4 Volunteering - volunteering

Why this project?

V4Volunteering’s main aim is to promote volunteering in sport area with focus on promoting education in and through sports combined with volunteering values, for a skill development result. The project aims at involving 44 volunteers from EU and partner countries, 40 for a short-term (group) and 4 for a long-term (individual) experiences throughout the project’s lifetime.

participate in and organise and engage the local community in at least 60 sport and volunteering related events, together with the hosted volunteers
develop competences of the hosted volunteers and at least 20 local volunteers for the further integration to the labour market or study continuation, during the implementation of the project
