On 16 October UCC Futures – Collective Social Futures and ISS21 hosted a seminar on volunteering research and practice in Ireland.
The well attended seminar discussed the findings of two recently completed research projects on aspects of volunteering in Ireland. The research was commissioned and funded by the Department of Rural and Community Development as part of the National Volunteering Strategy 2021 – 2025, through the Irish Research Council’s New Foundations Scheme. Cork Volunteer Centre was the civil society partner for the research.
Further details on both projects can be found on the ISS21 website at: Youth Volunteering: building capacity for the future | University College Cork (ucc.ie); and Volunteer Recognition: developing questions for the Irish Census
