VALUE - Volunteering & Lifelong Learning in Universities in Europe

The VALUE Network brings together representatives of the University and Volunteering sectors through a shared belief that the development of volunteers, through University Lifelong Learning (ULLL), can play a key role in the development of European society as a whole. At the centre of the Network’s investigations are volunteers and the sophisticated learning – both formal and informal - that they experience in their volunteering work. VALUE’s principal aims are to bring the two sectors together to share ideas and models of working together and to explore the potential for developing new university lifelong learning opportunities for both volunteers and staff in volunteering organisations.

VALUE is also developing a resource base which includes materials such as reports, case studies and bibliographic references and which will be of interest to organisations in both sectors. The resource base – together with information about the Network’s meetings - is available on this website. In Spring 2011, the VALUE final conference will take place in Ankara, Turkey. The conference will summarise the Network outputs and plan for future collaborative initiatives. The event will be open to all interested parties - watch the link for detailed information.

The VALUE Network comprises 20 organisations representing universities and the volunteering sector from 13 European countries. It is supported by the Grundtvig strand of the European Commission’s Lifelong Learning Programme.

A printer-friendly version of the VALUE information leaflet is available here.
