Annotation -
The course is centered on volunteering as one of the core elements of third sector, active citizenship and non-profits. Volunteering is approached in the international perspective, exploring and comparing the values and practices of volunteering in different countries. The aim is to reflect on the cultural embeddedness of volunteering. The course is structured in a participative mode of active and peer learning, aiming to maximize the potential of a multi-cultural and the plurality of disciplinary approaches of students. The course is accessible for students with no prior knowledge of volunteering, yet at the same time it creates a unique space for the academic reflection of the cultural embeddedness of volunteering.
