"Advanced Volunteer Management" was a 9day training course, which took place from 23rd to 31st of October 2015 in the town of Črnomelj, Slovenia.
Training course, organized by Youth centre BIT as applicant and hosting organization gathered 28 youth workers from 23 different organizations from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Serbia, Slovenia and Spain. The training was facilitated by 3 experienced trainers from Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia and supported with 3 members of international logistic team.
Objectives of the training course were providing participants with competences and tools for implementing effective volunteer management system; raising participants' skills for creating their own local/international short/long-term volunteering programs. With this training course we aimed to increase social skills and personal development of participants and raise awareness of importance and values of volunteering. Training was designed for volunteer coordinators, managers and people who are directly involved with management of volunteers and have some previous experience.
With this training we wanted to improve implementation of high quality detailed/advanced volunteer management in participating organizations. The training provided practical work – coaching and development of volunteering initiatives. Trainers and participants shared innovative approaches, methodologies and tools, discussed level of recognition of volunteering in different European countries and planned new initiatives.
Also, with new ideas and motivation, we wanted to inspire the youth workers to be good example and pass the positive values to their peers and their very own communities. During this training we created the space for planning future mutual projects and cooperation between youth workers from different countries of Europe and gave strong support to developing international network of youth organizations who will make the positive change both on local and global level.
