CB4VOL - Across borders: strengthening youth volunteering to fight for gender equality and social inclusion

CB4VOL's main objective is to strengthen the capacity of the consortium organisations to develop volunteering work at local level. At the same time, the project organisations will promote the participation of youth in their local communities, to improve awareness and knowledge about gender equality and inclusion.
The project objectives will be achieved through 4 Working Packages: (1) Project and consortium management, (2) Training and follow-up/Monitoring, (3) Volunteer pilot groups, (4) Online campaigning for gender equality and inclusion.
This project has targeted young people and specially young women from vulnerable backgrounds in the urban and semi urban areas of Tangiers, Jerusalem. These youngsters will become local volunteers and they will not only work together at community level but also engage in exchanges (online and in-person) with youngsters from the EU. In addition, the consortium is made up of 4 organisations: Association Thissagnasse pour la culture et le développement in Morocco; Young Women's Christian Association of Jerusalem; Women In Development Europe+ (WIDE+), Brussels; Alianza-Actionaid (Madrid).
The organisations will work with 40 young people and 30 staff members of organisations. The young volunteers will reach out locally through public actions and the regional online campaing to foster gender equality and social inclusion.
Expected results:
- Partner organisations develop strong, sustainable volunteering programmes
- Young people in 4 countries engage locally, develop their personal skills to become active, responsible adults.
- Local communities' awareness about gender equality and social inclusion has been raised.
Project outputs:
- Each organisation develops a Local Volunteering Programme
- Training Materials, for organisations and for the volunteers, are produced on Volunteering, Gender Equality, Campaigning.
- Online Regional campaign and dissemination materials
- Local public actions about the value of volunteering
