On Thursday, November 14, the Open Volunteering Day took place in Piwnice Rzeszowskie. It was a unique event that attracted people who were socially engaged and interested in the idea of volunteering.
The central point of the program was a panel discussion entitled "Volunteering - a way to build global solidarity", in which Gabriela Civico, Director of the European Volunteering Centre (CEV - Centre for European Volunteering) took part.
The event also included study visits to local institutions such as Space4Youth, PSAR, Feniks/Urban Lab and the Municipal Senior Centre. CEV Director Gabriela Civico had the opportunity to see how organizations operate on a daily basis and what role they play in building solidarity in the local community. The Open Volunteering Day not only promoted the idea of social involvement, but also constituted an important step in Rzeszów's efforts to win the prestigious title of European Volunteering Capital 2026.
Thank you all for your participation and inspiring conversations!
