The 7th Serbian Vision Multicongress on Volunteerism Held
08. Feb 2022.
EHO presented the topic "How to achieve a better society - volunteerism" at the 7th Multicongress organized by the Serbian Vision (German-Serbian Chamber of Commerce) together with its partners, Charitable Foundation of the Serbian Orthodox Church from Belgrade and MDH "Merhamet-Sandzak" from Novi Pazar. As the above-mentioned organizations carry out a large number of projects with significant volunteer engagement, each organization presented their programs and own vision for volunteerism. These stakeholders were connected by the same thought - that volunteerism is the basis for the development of a healthy and better society. This would be a better society, with empathy and respect an established environment in its foundation. The link that connected EHO with organizations from Belgrade and Novi Pazar is the involvement in a joint project, implemented since 2019. “Capacity Building – Exchange of Good Practices and Cooperation in Humanitarian Action to generate Enagement”. The project is realized under the mentorship of ADRA Slovakia and aimed at obtaining Certification and Quality Label within the EU Aid volunteer program, to fully comply with EU standards in providing quality volunteer guidance.
