The 'Road to the Future: Youth Perspective on Volunteerism' project aimed to increase youth engagement in volunteering activities by fostering a culture of social responsibility and civic participation. The project sought to empower young people to actively contribute to their communities by developing a deeper understanding of volunteering, its impact, and its role in shaping volunteer policies. The main objectives of the project were as follows: 1.Raising Awareness of Volunteering Among Youth The project aimed to improve young people's knowledge and awareness of volunteering, its societal benefits, and the opportunities to participate in volunteer work. Through non-formal education activities, regional workshops, and national-level discussions, youth were given insights into different volunteering models and their impact. 2.Encouraging Youth to Participate in Policy-Making One of the key objectives was to actively involve young people in shaping policies related to volunteering. By organizing regional forums and a national summit, the project created a space where youth could analyze existing policies, identify gaps, and propose concrete recommendations for improving volunteer frameworks at local and national levels. 3.Strengthening Local and National Collaborations The project facilitated networking and collaboration between youth, local governments, NGOs, and decision-makers. Bringing these stakeholders together aimed to create a more inclusive and participatory approach to volunteer management. 4.Developing Practical Policy Recommendations The project sought to produce a policy recommendation document reflecting young people's volunteering perspectives. Based on the discussions and findings from regional activities, this document was intended to serve as a guiding resource for policymakers, organizations, and institutions working in youth engagement and volunteerism. 5.Contributing to Erasmus+ Priorities The project aligned with key Erasmus+ priorities, including social inclusion, digital transformation, sustainable practices, and democratic participation. Special efforts were made to engage disadvantaged groups, integrate digital tools, and promote environmentally friendly approaches to volunteering. 6.Enhancing the Culture of Volunteering and Active Citizenship Beyond policy recommendations, the project aimed to foster a sustainable culture of volunteering by equipping young people with the motivation, knowledge, and skills to engage in meaningful volunteer activities beyond the project’s duration. Through these objectives, "'Road to the Future: Youth Perspective on Volunteerism'" sought to empower young individuals to become proactive change-makers in their communities, ensuring their voices are heard in shaping the future of volunteer work and civic engagement.
