Suvarnabhumi project will implement the HAPPY Model
Help. The volunteer’s main task is to run a project in support of the local community. Volunteers use their time, energy and competencies to help those most in need, while at the same time helping themselves to further develop personally and professionally.
Absorb. The volunteering services will be done in a way to support the learning of the volunteers at a maximum in various personal and professional competencies. While the process will be supported by nature process on non-formal education tools (language learning, mentoring).
Participate. Apart from their regular projects (usually service oriented), the volunteers should be engaged in at least one other action or initiative as a manifestation of their active participation in the life of the local community. The hosting organization will support the volunteer in this aspect, selecting an action that fits both the needs of the community and the learning needs of the volunteer.
Promote. The volunteers that do volunteering services in different places are perceived as ambassadors of global change. They are expected to promote both the idea of volunteering as an act of active citizenship and the idea of sustainable global development. This promotion should happen both within the local hosting and the local sending communities, which is why both the hosting and the sending organizations will be responsible to encourage and support the volunteer's efforts in this direction.
Young. It will be taken into consideration from all the people involved in the service that it is a young initiative and it should be designed as one– fitting the interests and learning needs of the young people, being friendly and fun!
