PURPOSE: to present a report on the\nimplementation, results and overall achievements of the European\nYear of Volunteering 2011.
\nBACKGROUND: following consultation launched\nby the Commission in 2006, the European Parliament adopted\na declaration calling for a European Year of\nVolunteering 2011. In 2009, the European Parliament and the Council\nendorsed the Commission's proposal to designate 2011 as the\nEuropean Year of Voluntary Activities Promoting\nActive Citizenship (EYV2011).
\nFully respecting the principle of subsidiarity, the\nEYV2011 was designed to encourage the efforts undertaken by Member\nStates, regional and local authorities to create better conditions\nand higher visibility for voluntary activities in the European\nUnion, by pursuing four objectives:
\nIn accordance with the Decision establishing the\nEuropean Year of Volunteering 2011, the Commission presents a\nreport offering an overview of the implementation, results and\noverall achievements of the European Year, building on the\nconclusions of an external evaluation.
\nCONTENT: the report states that the EYV 2011 acted as\na catalyst for policy changes both at European and national level.\nSeveral initiatives were undertaken in the extension of this Year,\nand the European Year of Citizens 2013 will build upon the\nachievements of EYV 2011.
\nBudget: in 2011, a total\nbudget of EUR 7.7 million supported activities at European level\nand in the 27 EU Member States. A separate budget of EUR 2 994\nmillion for preparatory actions had been available in 2010 to\ndevelop an information and communication campaign for the EYV2011\nand to set up the coordination structure bringing together the main\nstakeholders at European level.
\nImplementation of the European Year in Member\nStates: in order to organise its\nparticipation in the European Year, each Member State designated a\nNational Coordination Body (NCB), the range of which showed the\ndiversity of volunteering traditions in Member States. NCBs were\ngranted a total of EUR 3.549 million to coordinate national EYV2011\nactivities in line with a national work programme developed by each\nNCB and approved by the Commission.
\nThe report describes the activities that took place at\nnational, regional and local level, including: (i)\nawareness-raising activities (communication campaigns, visibility\nevents, competitions and award ceremonies, websites, leaflets,\npromotional items, media work, social networking, etc.); (ii)\ndebates (conferences, seminars, meetings, etc.); (iii)\nexpertise-related activities (research, studies, publications,\netc.).
\nEuropean actions: the EU\nalso co-financed certain flagship initiatives to\npromote networking and innovation in the field of volunteering.\nThis corresponds to one project per country in fourteen Member\nStates, as well as multiple projects in certain countries. The\nbudget allocated to the co-financing of flagship projects was EUR1\n964 million. The Commission's co-financing was limited to a maximum\nof 60% of a projects total eligible costs.
\nPriority was given to projects testing and developing\nnew and innovative schemes and building long-term partnerships\nbetween civil society organisations and public sector bodies\ninvolved in volunteering.
\nLastly, the European Year covered awareness-raising at\nEU level and awareness of the Year amongst relevant stakeholders\nand the general public was promoted by means of a series of actions\ndescribed in the report.
\nMain conclusions: the\nmain conclusions of the report are as\nfollows:
\nThe European Year of Active Ageing 2012 has\nensured some continuity with EYV 2011 through some\nspecific actions. Sustainability will be assured through synergies\nwith the European Year of Citizens 2013. By organising a series of\nEuropean years on themes related to citizenship focussing on\ndifferent aspects (European Year for Combating Poverty and Social\nExclusion 2010, European Year of Volunteering 2011, European Year\nof Active Ageing and Intergenerational Solidarity 2012 and European\nYear of Citizens 2013), the Commission has sought to contribute to\nthe exploration of the concept of civic engagement in its different\ndimensions.
\nThe Committee on Culture and Education adopted the\nown-initiative report by Marco SCURRIA (EPP, IT) on\nvolunteering and voluntary activity in Europe.
\nMembers recalled that the severe economic crisis,\nausterity measures and tax pressures are jeopardising the financial\nstability of many NGOs, sports bodies and voluntary organisations.\nRecognising the various forms of volunteering practised in Member\nStates, Members called for a multicultural approach from the Member\nStates, and from the Commission a detailed analysis of national\nvolunteering practices and traditions with a view to fostering a\ncommon European approach. This would create more opportunities\nfor young peoples mobility and employability by allowing them\nto acquire valuable skills. Members encouraged Member States to\ncontinue creating an enabling environment for volunteering, by\nestablishing a legal framework where one was still\nlacking.
\nBetter recognition of skills acquired from\nvolunteering: measures recommended\nwere:
\nMembers believed that the skills acquired by young\npeople during volunteer work should be included in the European\nSkills Passport and Europass, so that formal and non-formal\nlearning were treated in the same way. Volunteering could also\noffer young people who have broken off their schooling an inclusive\nenvironment and inclusive activities.
\nVolunteering among both young and elderly people:\nreiterating its support for the European Voluntary Humanitarian Aid\nCorps initiative, Members pointed out that volunteering was\nbecoming increasingly common among both young and elderly people.\nSuch activities enabled them to make a contribution to society and\nearn recognition and esteem in return.
\nThe report stressed that the existence of a broad\nrange of volunteering activities, as well as ease of access to such\nactivities, as regards cost, availability of information and\ninfrastructure, and provision of liability and accident insurance\ncover, were essential if volunteering is to be promoted among all\nage groups.
\nAdded value of volunteering: Members considered that volunteering, as an active\nmethod of building civil society, could contribute to the\ndevelopment of intercultural dialogue and play a major role in\ncombating prejudice and racism. They called on the Commission and\nMember States to give due recognition to the key contribution that\nvolunteering is making at this time of serious economic\ncrisis.
\nEuropean Year of Volunteering (EYV): Members deplored the poor results achieved for EYV\n2011 because of a lack of financial resources. They called on\nMember States to ensure the sustainability of the results achieved\nat national level during EYV 2011.
\nMember States were asked to:
\nThe report stressed the need for a centralised EU\nportal providing a pan-European platform for coordination in\nthis area, which should include a volunteering best practice\ndatabase.
\nFacilitate access to volunteering: Members invited Member States to implement the\nprovisions of Directive 2004/114/EC on the conditions of admission\nof third-country nationals for purposes of study, pupil exchange,\nunremunerated training or voluntary service, and to simplify\nthe procedures for the granting of visas, or to abolish\nthem, for those wishing to undertake voluntary activities as part\nof the European Neighbourhood Policy.
\nNational, regional and local authorities were also\nasked to make adequate funding available, streamline\nadministrative procedures and provide tax incentives for\nvolunteers organisations and networks, in particular small\norganisations with limited resources. In this connection, Members\nasked for the concept of grants to associations to be\nclarified so that funding for associations was no longer\nconfused with state aid, which could hamper competition in the\nfor-profit sector.
\nMembers called on the Commission to look into the\npossibility of counting the economic contribution made by\nvoluntary work as matching funding for European\nprojects.
\nMember States must also:
\nMore resources for volunteering: Members invited the Commission to marshal the\nnecessary resources to set up a European Volunteering\nDevelopment Fund, in order to ensure that appropriate support\ninfrastructure is put in place. They emphasised the need to make it\neasier for NGOs to gain access to European funding, in particular\nunder the ESF, at national and European level.
\nLastly, they called the Commission to recognise\nvolunteer time as eligible in-kind cofinancing for all European\ngrants.
\nThe European Parliament adopted a resolution on\nvolunteering and voluntary activity in Europe.
\nIt recalled that the severe economic crisis, austerity\nmeasures and tax pressures are jeopardising the financial stability\nof many NGOs, sports bodies and voluntary organisations.\nRecognising the various forms of volunteering practised in Member\nStates, Members called for a multicultural approach from the Member\nStates, and from the Commission a detailed analysis of national\nvolunteering practices and traditions with a view\nto fostering a common European approach. This would\ncreate more opportunities for young peoples mobility and\nemployability by allowing them to acquire valuable skills.\nParliament encouraged Member States to continue creating an\nenabling environment for volunteering, by establishing a legal\nframework where one was still lacking.
\nBetter recognition of skills acquired from\nvolunteering: measures\nrecommended were:
\n\n· \npromoting volunteering, especially among\nschoolchildren, students and other young people;
\n\n· \npromoting the electronic portfolio,\nwhich provides a comprehensive picture of individuals' skills,\nincluding those acquired during volunteering work, as well as\npromoting the proposed Europass Experience\ndocument would allow volunteers to describe and record\nskills;
\n\n· \nstrengthening gender parity within the voluntary\nsector.
\nParliament believed that the skills acquired by young\npeople during volunteer work should be included in\nthe European Skills Passport and Europass, so that\nformal and non-formal learning were treated in the same way.\nVolunteering could also offer young people who have broken off\ntheir schooling an inclusive environment and inclusive\nactivities.
\nVolunteering among both young and elderly\npeople: reiterating its support for\nthe European Voluntary Humanitarian Aid Corps initiative,\nParliament pointed out that volunteering was becoming increasingly\ncommon among both young and elderly people. Such activities enabled\nthem to make a contribution to society and earn recognition and\nesteem in return.
\nThis also encouraged:
\n\n· \nintercultural learning;
\n\n· \na sense of European identity;
\n\n· \nintergenerational solidarity;
\n\n· \nactive ageing; and
\n\n· \nlifelong civic participation.
\nParliament stressed that the existence of a broad\nrange of volunteering activities, as well as ease of access to such\nactivities, as regards cost, availability of information and\ninfrastructure, and provision of liability and accident insurance\ncover, were essential if volunteering is to be promoted among all\nage groups.
\nAdded value of volunteering: Members considered that volunteering, as an active\nmethod of building civil society, could contribute to the\ndevelopment of intercultural dialogue and play a major role in\ncombating prejudice and racism. They called on the Commission and\nMember States to give due recognition to the key contribution that\nvolunteering is making at this time of serious economic\ncrisis.
\nEuropean Year of Volunteering\n(EYV): Parliament deplored the\npoor results achieved for EYV 2011 because of a lack of financial\nresources. It called on Member States to ensure the sustainability\nof the results achieved at national level during EYV\n2011.
\nMember States were asked to:
\n\n· \ntake the requisite steps to institutionalise\nvolunteering in a manner consistent with their national\nlabour laws;
\n\n· \nset up national coordination websites and search\nengines that will allow easy and well-structured access to\nvolunteering opportunities;
\n\n· \nprovide a stable and sustainable support\nframework for both national and cross-border volunteering that\nsupports both volunteers and volunteering organisations;
\n\n· \nkeep in place the national coordinating bodies\nset up in connection with EYV 2011;
\n\n· \nset up a single point of contact in the form of\na service with responsibility for volunteering policy and for\ncoordination in this area between Commission departments and the\nvarious institutions.
\nParliament stressed the need for a centralised\nEU portal providing a pan-European platform for\ncoordination in this area, which should include a volunteering best\npractice database.
\nFacilitate access to volunteering: Members invited Member States to implement the\nprovisions of Directive\n2004/114/EC on the conditions of admission of third-country\nnationals for purposes of study, pupil exchange, unremunerated\ntraining or voluntary service, and to simplify the procedures\nfor the granting of visas, or to abolish them, for\nthose wishing to undertake voluntary activities as part of the\nEuropean Neighbourhood Policy.
\nNational, regional and local authorities were also\nasked to make adequate funding available,\nstreamline administrative procedures and provide tax incentives for\nvolunteers organisations and networks, in particular small\norganisations with limited resources. In this connection,\nParliament asked for the concept of grants to associations\nto be clarified so that funding for associations was no\nlonger confused with state aid, which could hamper competition in\nthe for-profit sector.
\nParliament called on the Commission to look into\nthe possibility of counting the economic contribution made by\nvoluntary work as matching funding for European\nprojects.
\nMember States must also:
\n\n· \nmake it compulsory for volunteers to have\nproper insurance cover, in order to protect their health and\nsafety during volunteer work;
\n\n· \nfacilitate volunteering through the provision of\nformal, informal and non-formal training to enhance\nvolunteers skills and empower them in their work;
\n\n· \npromote the European Voluntary Service in\nuniversities and other higher education institutions.
\nParliament drew attention to the need for volunteering\nto be encouraged as part of corporate social responsibility\nstrategies, in keeping with voluntary international standard ISO\n26000:2010 on guidance on corporate social\nresponsibility.
\nMore resources for volunteering: Parliament invited the Commission to marshal the\nnecessary resources to set up a European Volunteering\nDevelopment Fund, in order to ensure that appropriate support\ninfrastructure is put in place.
