What grows in this forest? Information for young people about opportunities to get involved in Volunteerism.

How best to inform? Actively and inclusively! That's why forest volunteers engaged people from all over the country in the #I'mAgainstVolunteering Contest Challenge, in which dozens of active ones shared volunteer stories from their own lives.

They also organized a forest debate in the Saxon Garden with the theme “What is the Pattern for Work (in Lublin)?”, where they discussed increasing the chances of young people on the job market, among other things, thanks to volunteer activities, and showed the citizens of Lublin that “Volunteering has more than one name” during a happing realized on the streets of the city, and finally - planted the title Forest of Development! Thanks to them, a dozen or so organizations from Lublin that carry out volunteer work at their premises took under their “wings” a small potted plant, which will grow to symbolize their contribution to the development of young people and invite them to further interesting projects.

Very importantly, the young people themselves created the idea of the “Forest of Development” and wrote a proposal, which was later funded as a solidarity project under the European Solidarity Corps! So, we encourage more young people to implement their project ideas with us and change the world together 🙂
