Developing European Volunteering Strategies

2017, Brussels, European Volunteer Centre EVC

The CEV Capacity Building Conference took place on 6-7 April 2017 in London at the City Hall.

​Representatives from CEV member organisations from across Europe gathered together with interested UK / London -based stakeholders in April 2017 in order to consider the volunteering strategies that are needed in Europe at local, regional and national administration levels and how to design and implement them with input from all sectors and stakeholders.

​Workshop leaders shared their experience and practiced together with participants with a view to building capacity and developing a best practice guide for use across Europe by governments, local authorities, volunteer centres, volunteer organisations and companies
