With the four-part online series " Diversity in volunteering: Let's talk about it ", the Academy for Volunteering is creating an open and low-threshold space for discussion, exchange and expert input on diversity in volunteering.

1/4 Diversity as a responsibility of volunteering

How do organisations take responsibility for diversity and participation? We discuss which structures promote openness - and where barriers still exist. Impulses and practical examples show how volunteering can be organised in a diversity-sensitive way.

For whom this is interesting

The exchange is aimed at everyone who is involved or works professionally in volunteering - whether volunteers, associations or professionals. Together, you will reflect on how diversity is practised in volunteering, what challenges exist and how diversity can be strengthened and structurally anchored in the long term. The inputs are practical, easily accessible and directly transferable to your own everyday life.
