    How to be a Volunteer? - A Transfer Story from Arcos de Valdevez

    In 2018 our Municipality joined the network of transferring good volunteering practices. It should be noted that the Municipality of Athienou is a lead partner of this Volunteer Network, of which Arcos de Valdevez is already part, as well as municipalities in countries such as Poland, Ireland, Spain, Germany, Croatia and Italy.

  • Altena - A Transfer Story

    Our starting point: We had already a working volunteering base, the STELLWERK and we also had some great projects which are going on in Altena, but we have one really big problem we need new and young people for our volunteering actions.

    It was and still is a great chance to be a part of the transfer network from Urbact “Volunteering Cities” and learn from the lead partner and the other cities what we could do, to get more volunteers into the STELLWERK.
