The first meeting was hold in December last year, and the proposal program will last until the end of September 2017. Zsuzsanna Baczkó, member of HBAid’s international team, said that this program focuses on volunteering. The goal is to prepare civic organizations, as best as possible, to recruit and train volunteers for successful missions in the third world. This program provides an opportunity to receive a certification that gives a useful method to the participating organizations. The application is implemented by the consortium that HBAid is part of.

The second meeting was hold recently in Bologna (Italy), where the English Volonteurope, the Spain Allianza por la Solidaridad and Hungarian Baptist Aid elaborated together on the following steps. The Consortium staff member organizations selected 16 NGOs and CSOs that may be able to gain the EU certification that assures qualified volunteering activities.
