EYV 2011 "City Focus" - Lippstadt-Uden, Germany-Netherlands 
Cross-border volunteer exchange Uden-Lippstadt
25 volunteers from Uden (Noord-Brabant, Netherlands) travelled in October 2011 to Lippstadt (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany). The volunteers were
reunited in the framework of the same voluntary service project which took place in Uden in May 2011. The volunteers committed to various tasks such
as a campaign for UNICEF, restoring gardens and planting trees in a youth centre, taking part in an afternoon for the elderly, renovating the local
animal shelter, raising money by selling waffles on the market...etc. These exchanges were organised in the framework of the European Year of
Volunteering.
Although the exchange was initially designed as a single action, many volunteers found it was a good idea for this successful project to continue in
the coming years. The project was the result of a collaboration between the two cities building upon 40 years of friendship. "In brilliant sunshine
all participants spent an exciting day in Lippstadt. New contacts were made and others strengthened. But in the first place the meeting focused on the
voluntary work and the pleasure to engage with others." concluded the organisers. Read more.

volunteers. On estimate, Euclid members collectively manage 1.2 million volunteers. Using a 'trickle down' methodology, Euclid Network (EN) engages in
volunteering through developing leaders and organisations in a sustainable way, who are then able to better manage and provide opportunities for
Europe's volunteers. Recognising the importance of volunteering Euclid Network have developed several services and resources to develop volunteering
across Europe: international job-shadowing exchanges where third sector leaders volunteer at another organisation to develop their leadership. <a

restoring gardens and planting trees in a youth centre, taking part in an afternoon for the elderly, renovating the local animal shelter, raising
money by selling waffles on the market...etc. These exchanges were organised in the framework of the European Year of Volunteering.
Although the exchange was initially designed as a single action, many volunteers found it was a good idea for this successful project to continue
in the coming years. The project was the result of a collaboration between the two cities building upon 40 years of friendship. "In brilliant sunshine
all participants spent an exciting day in Lippstadt. New contacts were made and others strengthened. But in the first place the meeting focused on the
voluntary work and the pleasure to engage with others." concluded the organisers. <a style="color:#0F58BB;text-decoration:underline;" target="_blank"
