Abstract
In this work package ‘Volunteering in Creative Arts and Culture’ (wp 4) of the VOLPOWER project we have explored how creative arts volunteering can contribute to dialogue, collaboration, and resource building between EU national- (EUN) and third country national- (TCN) youth. We have explored existing practices in culture and arts volunteering and have co-designed new practices in Croatia, Malta, the Netherlands, Slovenia and South-Tirol. For this we closely collaborated with selected volunteers and organisations in the five countries.
VOLPOWER is an interactive research project in which the volunteers are not only subjects and participants in the research via different training events, but in our project the volunteers are also important partners in co-designing innovative approaches that strengthen the link between youth empowerment, diversity and inclusion through volunteering.
