Project Summary

#Evolve aims to enable exchange, develop new cooperation between CCIVS members and external stakeholders through an International Conference and by starting the Long Term Training programme for the IVS network by providing two trainings the ‘ABC of NGO Finances’ and ‘Communication and Marketing’ , following these we will ensure the replication of the project in Local Training Hubs based in the local communities where the 26 partners are based. It will produce 2 Open Source Toolkits on the theme of the Trainings. #Evolve is built upon the CBY KA2 – STEPS project which made an analysis of the training needs of IVS organisations, the ‘State of the Art of IVS’ was the publication issue from this project, it highlights the following; 1. organisational development is a top priority for IVS organisations, 2. The need to address the decreasing numbers of volunteers. As such #Evolve will promote networking (encouraging exchange – developing partnerships, sharing of ideas; meeting with stakeholders) and capacity building in Finances and Communication and Marketing in order to meet the needs highlighted. In face of declining numbers of volunteers #Evolve offers a space to build new partnerships, to further develop local actions and to develop key competencies to strengthen organisational structure. The Conference offers- visibility/networking/learning, the Training – new skills peer-to peer support with the trainings taking place in strategic countries with more expert members, the Local Training Hubs – multiplication with local communities improving access for 1500 young people with low basic skills and thus promoting social inclusion. The Results will include Open Source Toolkits on the themes of the Trainings and Reports.
