presenting its educational and volunteer management strategy and encouraging the participating entities to collaborate and partner with Catalan non-profit entities in projects supported by the Erasmus + program of the European Commission.
The FCV will have a stand where it will offer information on the type of activities that we can carry out in partnership with the entities of the different participating countries, in diverse fields, such as the training of leaders or the realization of transnational volunteer programs for young people.
Participating in the conference will allow us to learn about new realities and move forward in the establishment of new partnership relationships with representatives of civil society, government and universities of the aforementioned countries, with a clear objective: to create new training, volunteer and mobility programs and opportunities that will favor exchange, mutual knowledge and improve the international projection of Catalonia and the leadership of Catalan civil society organizations.
