Consultancy for Ethical volunteerism

Voor een internationaal project, waar ook BCN Nederland bij betrokken is, wordt gezocht naar een consultant voor een project over ”Ethical Volunteerism”

Overall Objectives and Activities of the Project:

The overall objective of this consultancy will be over a 6 month period to facilitate an interagency process to develop a global campaign and engagement strategy

The project includes the following activities:

(1). Mapping the trends, nature of volunteerism across the education, corporate and faith-based communities as well as tourist initiatives. The mapping will start with the identification of actors involved in these initiatives whom have the potential to support better practices. This mapping will not only include large organizations, but will also focus local initiatives. This will be done through a review or available literature and other materials and key informant interviews.

(2). Prepare and facilitate the convening of key actors involved in engaging with volunteers, tourist initiatives, and faith based organizations that have the potential to support better practices. This will be an opportunity to share experiences and existing knowledge and discuss the way forward in engaging with the different volunteering populations with a specific focus on curbing volunteerism in residential child care institutions. It will also be an opportunity to further identify the different volunteering populations including those supporting residential care as well as those supporting family and community based initiatives which could become promising examples to further disseminate.

(3). Identification of next steps to develop and implement an interagency global engagement strategy including communication and training strategies to generate change in knowledge, behaviours and practices of volunteers (which would then be launched in phase two of the project).
