Alliance Projects and Events
The Alliance increasingly works on common multilateral projects which provide the members with opportunities to develop their own activities within a familiar and confident structure, through existing partnerships. Throughout the 1990s, the Youth for Europe (YfE) and European Voluntary Service (EVS) programmes of the European Commission provided frameworks and support for increased co-operation between organisations and since 1996 the Alliance has initiated common projects through both YfE and EVS. In addition to providing valuable and innovative working experiences, these initiatives have also enabled the Alliance and its members to position international voluntary service within a contemporary context and achieve greater recognition.
The activities of the Alliance are arranged to support and develop the programmes and interests of members. There are three regular meetings/events each year:
- The Technical Meeting in March which enables the members and invited partner organisations to exchange annual workcamp programmes and discuss relevant issues, principally through bi-lateral discussions.
- The General Assemebly in November which provides opportunities for the staff and volunteers of member organisations to evaluate the work and to exchange ideas and experiences about subjects of common and current interest.
- The Post Camp Event in December/January which is aimed at the active volunteers of member organisations, to provide a themed programme of workshops and activities.
