This international 6-day training course will focus on developing the competence of youth workers regarding the impact of cross-border volunteering on the multicultural local communities, i.e. both in the hosting and sending society. Participants will explore how to increase the visibility of the Youth in Action programme by making current volunteers more visible in their hosting community and underlining their positive input and gain from intercultural communication. In other words, combating prejudice and negative views on foreigners by promoting the initiative of young Europeans and a positive image of experiencing new cultures. But no less important is to support participants in how they can optimize the outcome of a European volunteering experience both for their homecoming volunteers and their society as a whole. They will explore ways to demonstrate to their own community that volunteering in Europe produces responsible and active citizens contributing to their society and bringing back their intercultural experience.
