  6. COVO-summary * (* page 1 out of 5) The involvement and/or use of volunteers in many areas of social work is gaining importance: on the one hand, social institutions require the dedication of volunteers to complement their services in important and interesting ways. On the other hand, this creates valuable venues of participation for people, such as those who are no longer working. Thirdly, it offers people who are still working or studying or others numerous opportunities for an additional involvement by means of meaningful social activities – with all the advantages attached thereto ...

  7. COVO-summary * (* page 2 out of 5) ... Practical experiences of all the organisations represented in this partnership (from Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Germany and Austria) show that volunteer work can develop its full potential only when these volunteer services are coordinated in the best possible way. Volunteers cannot be treated as equivalents of staff but have different prerequisites, needs and capabilities. ...

  8. COVO-summary * (* page 3 out of 5) ... How can staff in the field of social work be qualified to the optimum with respect to coordination and guidance of volunteer services? Teachers and trainers for social professions are faced with a growing challenge: the acquisition of competency for coordination and guidance of volunteer services must be tackled as a new task in social work enterprises and/or training facilities in order to develop the resource of volunteer work to its fullest potential in the long run ...

  9. COVO-summary * (* page 4 out of 5) ... COVO refers to the results of the Equal Partnership “Professions and Training in the Health and Social Services”…: Under the COVO these are examined for their (mostly only implicit) contributions towards coordination competency of volunteer services and then related to the experiences of COVO project partners: the goal is to identify competencies and innovative concepts for the coordination and guidance of volunteers and their transfer to an up-to-date user-oriented curriculum ...

  10. COVO-summary * (* page 5 out of 5) ... The COVO transfer products are designed to support trainers and teachers in the field of social professions in their efforts to pass on coordination competencies (gained from the transfer outlined above) to full-time staff in social services, participants in social education programmes both within formal education institutions and outside – especially in the context of lifelong learning – in a way that is well-founded and appropriate to the growing demands in this field.
