CEV Members Job Shadowing project

Since 2009, CEV has decided to implement a new project in order to provide the staff members and volunteers of CEV member organisations with the opportunity to visit the CEV Office in Brussels during one week. The objective of this "Job Shadowing" project is to allow the participants to get a deeper understanding of CEV's work and methodology in promoting volunteering in Europe, to allow exchanges of best practices and experience among the participants, and to give them an overview of the procedures and functioning of the different European Institutions and funding programmes that are relevant to their work.

The job shadowing project is organised in the framework of the Lifelong Learning programme, and is possible thanks to the Grundtvig funds, for which the participants can apply to their respective National agencies.

The Job Shadowing weeks are structured around various activities including presentations and workshops at the CEV premises on different topics; visits to European Institutions; meetings with the Parliament Representatives (MEPs) from the countries of the participants as well as with their regional representatives; and a visit to a local volunteer project.

Two editions of the job shadowing project were organised so far: one in September 2009 and one in May-June 2010. You can find more information about the activities of these two editions, as well as on the participants and outcomes on the following webpages:
