EFIL Volunteer Summer Summit on Innovation and Creativity in Youth Exchange
The European Federation for Intercultural Learning (earlier called the American Field Service or AFS) is organising a Volunteer Summit on Innovation and Creativity in Youth Exchange in Istanbul, Turkey, from the 30th July to the 4th of August 2009, in keeping with the declaration of 2009 as the European Year of Innovation and Creativity by the European Union. From the Summit’s website:
The general objectives of the Summit concept have been defined as:
- to provide an opportunity for all volunteers to participate in an international event, at low cost, and to encourage them to reach out across their national borders;
- to increase motivation and feeling of belonging to an international community of a large number of volunteers;
- to focus on one leading theme to facilitate the sharing between volunteers from different countries;
- to explore methods and themes new to the AFS network;
- to create a new tradition of an annual volunteer meeting in an informal setting.
Sounds like something that would definitely benefit people working in youth volunteering across the world. If you attend, don’t forget to let us know how it was. In the meantime, we’ll keep an eye on the website to notify you of any useful resources that pop up.

Nice piece, yourself.
