What is Voluntary Service

…Voluntary Service is a pedagogical tool for action- reflection between diverse groups which is developed in different countries of the World, especially, after the First World War. Its original aims were to reconstruct bridges of dialogue and cooperative action between villages which had been devastated and were suffering hate after the War. Today is a pedagogical proposal that enables people from different backgrounds, cultures and religions to work together in solidarity and learn from each other. During the projects the reflection on mutual understanding, respect and non- violent conflict resolution as well as political issues related with the projects are transversal to the activities.

In Argentina we organize these projects together with local organizations and local Argentine youth groups and we invite young people to join together in the change which the youth groups are making here in their communities. At the same time we invite Argentines to participate in projects which our partners organize in all continents.

They are solidarity experiences where you live together between 2 weeks and one year in which young people from different countries, cultures, religions, economic and educative situations come together to realize a concrete simple community action somewhere in the World.
