Background

In 2017 several non-profit organisations founded an international network called “The GloRe Network”, with the purpose of fostering the development of innovative ways of recognition of volunteering. The Network currently counts on over 40 members from Europe, Turkey and Latin America. In March 2020 we launched The GloRe Certification System that enables volunteers to assess 25 soft skills and get the certificate. The System was created as a result of two Capacity Building in the field of Youth and 2 EuropeAid project in the last 5 years. The GloRe Network is willing to involve more volunteers and NGOs all over the world and therefore we designed this project.

Objectives

Network on ESC opportunities between trustworthy partners
Share good practices on recognition, validation and certification of volunteering experiences
Train participants on how to use the The GloRe Certification System and define together how GloRe with Youthpass and ESC training cycle
Exchange methodologies on volunteer tutoring and mentorship, in particular related with certification
Create new projects and partnership between partners and involve new organisations to become part of The GloRe Network.

Preparation Tasks

Present good practices on volunteering certification, mentorship and support you use
Take part in a Technical Training that will be organized either right before the training either during the training itself.

Follow-up tasks (in the 6 months after EURECA TC)

Train on methods and on GloRe min. 5 youth workers/mentors from your or from other NGOs.

Travel costs and fee

Food and accommodation will be 100% covered. For travel costs we will refund on the basis of distance calculator. As we decided to implement the training not anymore in Milan, but in a remote area, the hosting costs are reduced. For this reason we don’t have anymore a membership fee. Nevertheless, to reach Ligonchio we will rent a bus from Milan passing by Reggio Emilia (for participants landing in Bologna), that will have a cost of 50€ per participant, that will be deducted from the travel costs reimbursement. So for example, if you have 275€ according with distance calculator you will not pay any fee if you spend 225€ or less.

Venue

The activities will take place at Ostello dei Balocchi. Participants will stay in double or triple rooms with toilet inside. The food will be provided inside the venue.

The Project – What Is GloRe

The GloRe Network is an umbrella organisation established in Milan, Italy in 2017. The network is active worldwide in 20 countries and has the main goal of fostering – at GLObal level – the REcognition of volunteering and non-formal learning, hence the name. GloRe is an open network of non-profit organisations, indeed any non-profit organisation working with young volunteers, either locally or internationally, can join in as long as it respects the quality standards for the volunteer’s support, the proper use of the certification platform and with active participation in the network.
The organisation oversees the membership and training process, monitors the proper use of the platform and promotes it.

The Certification Platform

It is a certification platform that allows both international and local volunteers to receive a certificate with recognition of the soft skills they acquired while volunteering.

The latest version of the platform, launched in March 2021, enables users to get a certificate either in English, Turkish, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese. Volunteers have the possibility to go through 26 e-learning modules that help them in assessing their level in each soft-skill (the ones certified by the platform) and in creating a short dossier about their learning. At the end of the process the host organisation will validate the certificate, taking responsibility for approving the information on it. The platform is complementary to other certifications as Youthpass and is meant to provide volunteers with a flexible and reliable certificate, while investing a few hours on it. The certificate is recognised internationally by the members of The GloRe Network international community and by several educational and public institutions.
