The project “VALLEY – Validation System in Lifelong Learning Experiences of Youth Volunteering”, has launched a European wide online survey on the topic of youth volunteering and validation. The survey is aimed at volunteering organisations and young people involved in volunteering activities.
The survey which has been launched in the six partner countries; Germany, Austria, France, Italy, UK and Romania will investigate practices and opinions concerning the work with young volunteers, specifically young people with fewer opportunities, and the recognition and validation of learning outcomes gained through their volunteering service. It will also directly ask young people about their experiences and opinions of volunteering, not only assessing the competences they have gained during their volunteering service but also how these competences have been evaluated and recognised.
CESIE will be responsible for launching the survey in Italy consulting with volunteering organisations and young volunteers working at local level in Palermo and at international level.

The results will be compiled into a comprehensive report along with results from in depth interviews with organisations and desk-based research used to support the development of the competences and design of the VALLEY validation system.
VALLEY is a two year project co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme, Key Action 2 – Strategic Partnerships in the field of Youth. VALLEY aims to enhance the learning dimension of volunteering work through the development of a new approach to promote volunteering among young people as a resource of personal empowerment and to validate skills and competences developed during their volunteering experience. The project will maximize the transferability of this learning to other dimensions of people’s life to help understand the global benefits of volunteering in terms of social integration and (re)engagement, civic participation, mobility opportunities, etc.
The partnership is made up of 6 partners from 6 different countries which include Bupnet Bildung Und Projekt Netzwerk Gmbh (Germany- Coordinator), die Berater Unternehmensberatungs GmbH (Austria), EUROCIRCLE (France), CESIE (Italy), BEMIS (UK) and APOWER (Romania).
