🏢 About the local organisation
The United Nations has proclaimed 2026 as the International Year of Volunteers for Sustainable Development (IVY 2026), to recognize the essential role of volunteers in achieving the 2030 Agenda. The year focuses on strengthening volunteerism, fostering inclusive policies, and ensuring, that volunteer contributions are valued and measured. To highlight the IVY 2026, this project will initiate the IVS Innovation Simulation Competition demonstrating the four key principles of youth work (participation, empowerment, education and inclusion), the efficacy of non-formal learning, and how this adds value to school-based education, etc. It will set an example of youth advocacy on sustainability issues (SDGs), create exceptional opportunities for knowledge-sharing and intercultural learning. Mutual benefit between all partners is a fundamental principle of our approach.
