The main focus of the second workshop lays on "volunteering for sustainability". We have invited a couple of interesting scientists and professionals to get a deeper insight into different aspects and methodes of volonteer management and practical case studies. Together with partners from central and eastern european countries we would like to discuss ways and experiences of volonteer management leading to the question: How can we promote volunteering for sustainability?
