World Heritage Volunteers 2010 Report
While countries all over the world regularly acknowledge their youth as the leading force of the future, very few plan and invest in education that encompasses formal and non-formal learning processes, that stimulates intercultural dialogue and inter-generational cooperation. Even less care is given to providing actual spaces and building mechanisms for political involvement and decision-making giving youth an active role in the present.
From the onset, the World Heritage Volunteers projects have aimed to allow young volunteers to take the initiative. Every year, hundreds of young people show their willingness and commitment to the construction of new, learning societies in countries and territories around the world. Their dedication and passion allow new levels of connection between peoples through their common efforts, while reinforcing the promotion and preservation of World Heritage sites.
Relying almost exclusively on the efforts of young volunteers and local communities, the World Heritage Volunteers projects have brought together in 2010 more than double the number of individuals, organizations and countries than in the previous years. Lead by the example of youth and community commitment, many institutional and private partners are now joining the volunteers in becoming role models in World Heritage education. They show us with their voluntary work that if World Heritage sites belong to all peoples of the world, safeguarding this “unique and irreplaceable Heritage” is also a shared challenge, and young people have already taken on this responsibility.

Gender sensitivity at (voluntary) work
"Extending the Practice of Gender through intercultural learning - Gender sensitivity at (voluntary) work" was specifically developed for application in international voluntary service, serving as a manual to assist volunteers and practitioners in¬terested in introducing a gender sensitive approach to their work by providing them with interactive interdisciplinary tools that combine theory and practice. As such, the manual is divided into two main parts: Part I provides a theoretical background on gender and Part II lays out tools for practice in IVS.

Playing With Rubbish
During the 2007-8 Beauty and the Beast Campaign, CCIVS organisations developed their expertise in creating beautiful and useful objects from waste. Here, we bring together the most successful elements into a booklet giving specific ideas and instructions for how you can creatively use your waste in volunteer projects. We hope it will be the occasion for you to explore and suggest concrete, interesting and creative ways for re-using and recycling in international volunteer projects.
