CEV General Assemblies > 2004 - May (Stirling, Scotland) - Volunteering and the new technologies: Initiatives, opportunities and challenges

Volunteering and the new technologies: Initiatives,opportunities and challenges
23 May 2004, Stirling, Scotland 

In the light of the first World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) held in 2003 (and the creation of a “volunteer family”), along with the significant investment throughout Europe in the new Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) as a core element to strengthen the volunteering infrastructure, delegates were given a chance to learn from each other and to explore some of the challenges faced by the volunteering sector.

During the conference CEV members had the opportunity to discuss their personal experiences of ICT, and how they have used them in the context of volunteering, through participation in a number of workshops. These workshops were used as an opportunity to discuss the challenges faced, ways to overcome these challenges and what the future might look like in the members’ countries.
