Educational Cycle for International Volunteer Workcamp Leaders in the Czech Republic, Germany, and Italy: Learning Environments, Outcomes, and Recognition

The INSPIRIT project and its study aimed at understanding the experience young people gain when getting involved in the organizations’ activities in the role of international workcamp leaders and to describe the educational methodology behind the whole workcamp leaders’ cycle.  The educational cycle for international volunteer workcamp leaders is a program that all 3 organizations have in common and that exists in comparable equivalents in many other organizations within the network of IVS organizations. While IVS organizations and NGOs can consider this study a source of inspiration, the aim towards the formal educational institutions is to support the general recognition of non-formal learning on a global scale, namely in the university curricula.
