The objectives of the event will be:

2. to build partnerships with organisations from the region to strengthen cooperation in the field of voluntary service

3. to reconsider and self-evaluate CEE civil organisations’ strategies leading to sustainability

4. to brainstorm and plan for a common action to be carried out in 2011 – the European Year of Volunteering - to raise awareness on volunteering and active participation in the societies of the participating countries of CEE.
