Grenzenlos is running international projects and exchanges for more than 70 years. In the last years we dedicated our trainings to the topics of civil courage, human rights, and peace-work. In 2020 we have decided to also share operational knowledge in dealing with volunteers. One of the most recurrent topics in the last years has been the need for a better preparation and support for our staff and the participants themselves whenever there is the need for crisis interventions. After the success of the seminar “Crisis Management in Volunteering Services” of 2020, Grenzenlos decided to continue its work by creating a new training on practical methods that can be used to mitigate crisis in volunteering services. It was a holistic activity that asked for the participants experiences and knowledge to enrich the program in order to provide new and different inputs on dealing with crisis in volunteering services. The training supported the sharing of knowledge through the recognitions of the best practices, and helped in the increasing of awareness of the organisations in order to recognise crisis. This was supported by the working on the three different steps of a crisis: preparation, handling, and follow-ups. Important to highlight is that according to the Youth Goals on their 5th point “Mental Health and Wellbeing”, “a significant and increasing number of young people across Europe are expressing their concern at the prevalence of mental health issues such as high stress, anxiety, depression and other mental illnesses amongst their peers. Young people cite the immense societal pressures they face today, and express a need for better youth mental health provision”. For this reason and after analysing our own experiences, we worked through this training, On a personal level: + To encourage the development of self-awareness. What and where are my limits? + To train oneself in different methods that can serve to mitigate, transform or solve the crisis. On an Organisational Level: + To promote discuss how different organisations prepare their staff and volunteers in crisis management. + To share the best practices and lessons learnt on how to deal with crisis innervations. + To give participants and youth organisations involved in international voluntary projects tools to manage different crisis. + To encourage and support organisations to be ready to host and send volunteers with psychological difficulties and like this make volunteering more inclusive. + To focus on prevention measures that ensure young people are equipped with the knowledge and the skills required for better mental wellbeing. + To use and try out the created booklet on how to prepare, support and do follow-up in crisis management during volunteering work. Grenzenlos has an inclusion focus within all our projects. Therefore, this training is accessible for participants with physical disabilities. Through reducing the participation fee for participants with disabilities and providing personal assistance, we are aiming to also trained and give knowledge to youth workers and volunteers that are considered fewer opportunities.
