This Erasmus+ funded project developed high quality learning opportunities tailored to volunteers returning from placements in the global south, to upskill them as active citizens on international development issues. Utilising innovative outreach and delivery methodologies, it aimed to nurture the transformative potential of these people’s overseas experience and translate it into a deepened sense of identity as active global citizens.
The project was led by Comhlámh, in partnership with three organisations involved in international volunteering: finep (Germany), INEX-SDA (Czech Republic) and Volunteering Matters (UK). It started in 2016 and ran over 32 months, with funding from the Erasmus+ programme, which is managed by Leargas in Ireland
