Call for project proposals 2011 
When work doesn't cost anything, it often is not appreciated either. Therefore, one aim of the European Year of Volunteering 2011 is to increase the visibility and value the commitment of people working in their free time without being paid: Peers supporting those with learning difficulties in schools, concerts in old people's homes, young and old engaging in initiatives that protect the environment or fight discrimination... Everyone can volunteer; and apart from personal statisfaction it also provides important learning opportunities. Thus, the overall theme of the 2011 project competition is

“Building bridges in societies - volunteer in your communities”.

An international selection committee assesses and awards the best applications.

Network events
In the course of the project implementation phase (September 2011 until March 2012) two international meetings with delegations of the winning project schools provide additional support and great opportunities for further exchange and ongoing evaluation among the participants.
