Project Summary

The project “Sustainable Foundations for Sustainable Partnerships” had the aim to stregthen the capacities of all partner organisations in implementing sustainable volunteering possibilties for young people from Africa and Europe by volunteering abroad. The partner organizations for this project were from Cameroon, Malawi, Ghana, Kenya and Germany. The partners managed to interact during the project on different levels and several activties have been implemented. There has been a conference to start the project and discuss the dimensions of the topics as well as all activities. Further the project included mobility activities such as a training for youth workers to get trained in the purpose and philosophies of permaculture in youth work as well as several short job shadowing activities in order for the partners to get to know each other better but also to get to know the reality of volunteering with each partner. The results from the mobility activities as well as the previous experiences of the partners have been put into the development of a curriculum for volunteer services. After a phase of one year the partners re-evaluate this curriculum and officially adapted it as terms for their cooperation in the volunteering sector. During the project there also has been a website created in order to present the results but also to have a platform for promoting volunteering opportunities between the partners and under the same curriculum.
