--->CSVnet
The italian research that turn the stereotypes on migrants, not only beneficiaries but active volunteers building a better society - On 22nd June 2020, CSVnet presented the results of the new research “Unexpected volunteers” that focuses on the involvement and contribution of volunteers with a migration and/ or refugee background living in Italy.
The research was based on the survey promoted by CSVnet and produced by the Centro Studi Medi of Genoa, with the support and the involvement of all Italian Volunteer Centers. Through nearly 700 responses to questionnaires and 110 in-depth interviews, collected in 163 Italian cities, the research gives the floor to volunteers from 80 different countries. In addition, 10 excellence projects are brought into the spotlight while it also shares the experiences & data from 5 national networks:Avis, Misericordie, Fai, Touring Club and Aido.
The volunteers reveal themselves as protagonists of offering service to others, not only as beneficiaries, but individuals capable of "anticipating" a fairer, and more welcoming model of society. Personal disposition, opportunity to grow and learn, to overcome the stigma, to make new friends and to develop resilience are the main five reasons to become a volunteer in this case. The research is also accessible in printed format here. More info here.
--->The Centre for European Volunteering (CEV)
CEV calls for policymakers to "step up a gear" regarding volunteering policies and programmes. This "change of gear" should include increased focus, intensity and speed of investment and partnership development with volunteer-involving and volunteer infrastructure organisations leading to a situation that more properly reflects the importance of the energy, expertise, and commitment of volunteers for health, well-being and solidarity in Europe, whilst avoiding the exploitation of volunteers in for-profit settings.
