Volunteer Training Cycle

Volunteering: Training for Responsible Participation

As part of the cycle of training/awareness-raising sessions on volunteering organised by the U.Porto Solidarity Centre in partnership with CASES - António Sérgio Cooperative for the Social Economy, which will take place between March and May 2024, registration is now open for the training session "Training for Responsible Participation", aimed at those who volunteer or intend to volunteer.

In this session, which will take place on various dates and at the University's three centres, we will seek to deepen and disseminate the informed practice of volunteering, recognising the role it plays in developing skills as an expression of the exercise of solidarity and active citizenship.
