Successful Completion of the “POLICY POWER-UP: E-Volunteering in Action” Online Conference

On 29 October 2025, the CONNECT International and its partners successfully hosted the online conference titled “POLICY POWER-UP: E-Volunteering in Action – Building Europe’s E-Volunteering Ecosystem”, bringing together policymakers, youth organisations, researchers and digital innovators to explore the future of e-volunteering across Europe. The event was opened by a video keynote address by MEP Irena Joveva, who stresses the importance of e-volunteering

Participants engaged in rich dialogue on how e-volunteering can support youth facing barriers, how policies translate into practical frameworks, and how digital volunteering fosters inclusion and cross-border engagement.

By attending, participants joined a cross-sector community committed to making digital volunteering accessible, meaningful and impactful – shaping what comes next for e-volunteering in Europe.

We extend our thanks to all speakers, attendees and organisers for their contributions, and look forward to the next steps in building a strong, inclusive e-volunteering ecosystem throughout Europe.
