General Volunteer Training
General Volunteer Training has as its principal aim to provide for future volunteers a space for reflection about the “state of the world”, the inequalities and asymmetries which are devastating the world today and the importance of taking up voluntary work, while exercising citizenship in our everyday lives. The purpose of this course is also the integration of youth in volunteer projects developed not only by ISU, but also by other organisations.

Thus, it has as its principal objectives to understand and go deeper into the concepts and implications of social volunteering, namely the legislation and the implications of the integration of volunteers inside an institution, as well as to capacitate experts for the preparation and management of volunteer programs.
