This year’s main theme of the conference was strengthening civil society through global volunteering.
“The Annual Conference of International Volunteer Cooperation Organisations (IVCO) is headed by Forum and brings together leaders from volunteering agencies around the globe.
The resulting dialogue shines a light on the challenges and opportunities currently facing the volunteering in development sector, enabling Forum members and stakeholders to reflect, learn, share and network in a thought-provoking space.”
“The Global Volunteering Standard is a comprehensive framework designed to help organisations that work with volunteers improve the quality, impact and responsibility of their programmes. This guide provides step-by-step instructions for using the Standard to assess, plan and strengthen your volunteering practice.”
