VOLUME Project

VOLUME – Research and Analysis Report

The first intellectual output for Volunteers for Unaccompanied Minors get Educated (VOLUME) has been published and is available to all practitioners with an interest in this field.

Funded through Erasmus+, the project brings together partners from five European countries, who are experienced in migration and integration services. Collectively, we will develop a blended learning curriculum to support the work of volunteers in this discipline.

If you’ve ever wondered about the reception and social care arrangements in Austria, Cyprus, Germany, Italy or the United Kingdom then this report can tell you everything you need to know! The report looks at both the legal framework of support to unaccompanied minors in their respective host countries, as well as how the volunteering organisations bridge the gaps that the statutory services are unable to fill.

The aims of this report were outlined and collectively agreed by the 5 member states to form a framework for the analysis report and are presented below:

  • To gather the views of volunteers providing care and support to unaccompanied minors
    as part of their role.
  • To better understand the successes and challenges that volunteers face in their work.
  • To identify any additional training support required.
  • To develop a curriculum that is relevant and fit for purpose.
  • To identify common key themes identified across the member states.

 

We would like to thank all the volunteering agencies who gave up their time to help us with this research and enable us to produce resources that are going to benefit unaccompanied minors across Europe.
