The Volunteering who changes the world
A little word
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT : Odile DRINK OF CHAZOURNES
Volunteering is a personal enrichment that allows you to acquire new skills, a different know-how, to learn a language, to discover a culture. Present in all areas, it establishes a social link between those who exercise it and those who benefit from it.
By weaving these links, international volunteering contributes to the construction of a Europe of the peoples. Through the mobility of people within the European Union,
volunteering allows the creation of a strong European civil society and thus guarantees social cohesion and the expression of participatory democracy.
We created the AVE to provide a concrete response and contribute to the development of European citizenship through free voluntary commitment.
Within the Conference of NGOs of the Council of Europe, AVE wants to play the role of promoter of volunteering across Europe.
