The first part of the document deals with the strategy of working with volunteers and their further involvement, either as part of the activities of a non-profit organisation or in the sense of individual own volunteer initiative. This strategy was developed on the basis of research involving quantitative (questionnaire survey) as well as qualitative (in-depth interviews) approaches. Using these methods, an analysis was developed which reflected volunteers’ preferences in relation to other volunteering activities. Within the strategy a bunch of specific topics are discussed – such as volunteers’ motivation, methods, promotion, fundraising or impact measurement. The educational spiral and its link to the strategy is also explained. The second part of the document (Toolbox) contains a spectre of post-arrival volunteering activities which were proposed by the cooperating organisations. These volunteering activities (One Day Volunteering, Campleader Abroad) have been tested twice during the project, so the information included in the document reflects practical experiences of the participants. As part of the Toolbox, session plans focused on post-arrival reflection and evaluation were also created (and repeatedly tested). Also, INEX- SDA’s platform called INEXup is presented there as another important concept that ensures a supervision of initiative of volunteers who would like to start their own project, and thus can serve as an inspiration for other organisations. Last but not least, a system of referents is included which serves as promotional support in regions consisting of the former workcamp participants.   Co-funded by the European Union
