Forum Discussion Paper 2007 Voluntary Service and Public Engagement: What’s Happening? What’s New?

This is the second in a series of discussion papers produced by FORUM, which follows on from our research work on trends in International volunteering and co-operation in recent years. One of the key trends identified in this time has been how International Volunteer and Co-operation Organisations (IVCOs) engage in public engagement. This paper aims to consider some of the ways we engage, what we can learn from those experiences and identify some challenges for the future.
