National EU Member State P.A.V.E Launch Event
Wednesday 28th March 2012
Dar l-Ewropa, Valletta
The Policy Agenda for Volunteering in Europe (P.A.V.E) was developed during 2011 by the EYV Alliance Working Groups for P.A.V.E and has subsequently been endorsed by more than 30 EYV 2011 Alliance members (European Networks Active in Volunteering). P.A.V.E provides policy recommendations to relevant stakeholders in volunteering including policy makers at the member state level. In order to follow up on these recommendations the EYV 2011 Alliance project partners at Member State Level are organising national events in order to identify what the member state recommendations mean in different national contexts and what are the next steps towards their implementation.
Hard copies of the PAVE policy document will provided on the day and can also be found at:
