IVCO

Building on the opening roundtable conversation, this session explores global trends shaping civil society and how volunteering can help to turn the tide. What is the current direction of travel in civil society, what response is needed to change its direction, and where does volunteering fit in this response?  

 Through volunteering, people connect across divides, foster trust, and build shared purpose. Drawing on insights from IVCO 2024, participants will explore practical strategies for how volunteering strengthens civil society, and how our sector can respond to today’s challenges with bold action. 

 This will include sharing strategies to harness volunteering as a tool for trust-building, solidarity, and development cooperation, as well as innovative approaches for mobilising volunteers to unite diverse groups and promote collective action. 

Different modalities of breakout sessions have been designed to amplify diverse voices and promote opportunities for delegates to share their experiences in engaging ways during IVCO.
