The project "Change! ¡Cambia! - Management and training tools for international volunteering" aims to improve the volunteer projects, as learning experiences, an active tool to achieve competence and to promote the social inclusion. This project wants to enhance the professionalism and the internationalism of the volunteer projects, developing its value as training path for a future job carrier. Furthermore the project wants to foster and streghten the cooperation projects between european and non-european organisations. This project wants to adress the needs and problems of volunteers and organisations facing the intercultural diversity and the social exclusion, therefore it involves 2 european organisations from Italy, Hungary and 5 non-european organisations from Uruguay, Argentina, Nicaragua and India. These organisations throught the exchange of good practices and competences in the work for inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities, will study and analyse the best practices of project managment and training for projects of international volunteering.The output will be a Kit focused on the management of volunteering projects and on the training of the involved people.
