In this webinar you will discover how volunteering enhances education by building meaningful connections between schools, local communities, and global networks. You will explore dynamic strategies to weave volunteering into classroom activities, empowering students to tackle real-world challenges while developing vital skills such as leadership, collaboration, and empathy. Through engaging case studies from innovative eTwinning projects, we will uncover fresh approaches to project-based learning that ignite active citizenship and foster a sense of social responsibility. You will also learn how to develop partnerships with parents, local organisations, and community leaders to create a strong support system that amplifies educational goals. Discussions will highlight how volunteering can spark creativity and inspire collaboration across disciplines, merging STEAM, civic education, and the arts. By the end, you will feel energised and equipped to design inclusive, multidisciplinary initiatives that align with curriculum standards, nurture critical thinking, and motivate students to make a lasting difference in their communities.
