Discussion details

In the case study 'Activities of Slovak Development Volunteers in Places Affected by Migration', we use a specific example of ADRA Slovakia (one of the members of Slovak Platform for Development Organisations – Ambrela), to illustrate how their volunteers’ views of global challenges and future plans change. Further, we will outline how the volunteers acquire important social capital: new contacts, partnerships and an amount of useful knowledge, skills and experience. At the same time, we will show how the mitigation of forced migration through specific Slovak volunteer projects happens when the sent young people work directly with migrating communities looking for their new homes.
