Abstract | Volunteering is an expression of active citizenship, which occurs in many sectors. It is a value which should be developed from an early age through formal and informal learning. Nevertheless, not enough emphasis is given to it in educational institutes, and it is a value mostly ‘learned by example’. The European Commission has designated 2011 as European Year of Volunteering aiming to raise awareness of its significance and encourage the development of facilitating environments. |
