Volu.M.E – Why do it? Values in Volunteering, 27.06.-02.07.2026, Lefkosia & Lysos, Cyprus

What values shape the way we volunteer? And how do they influence the organisations and communities we work with?

For six inspiring days, youth workers, volunteer coordinators, mentors and project managers from across Europe came together to explore the values that lie at the heart of quality volunteering. Through experiential learning, reflection, peer exchange, theatre methods, creative activities and collaborative design, participants examined ethical dilemmas, shared practices from their organisations, and discovered how values are transformed into concrete actions, policies and everyday decisions. The training was part of the Volu.M.E – Volunteer Management Enhanced series, supporting organisations in strengthening volunteer management through non-formal education, international cooperation and shared learning. A heartfelt thank you to all participants for their openness, energy and commitment, and to our facilitators Panayiotis Theodorou, Corina Pintea and Markus Rebitschek for guiding this inspiring learning journey.

The project »Volu.M.E – Why do it? Values in Volunteering« is part of a series that now comprises 25 international activities, over 600 participants, and more than 70 partner organisations from across Europe. A project by »The Constellation.« Funded by the European Union.
