Young people of the North Caucasus Federal District found out about volunteering opportunities created for them to get involved in the excitement of the 16th FINA World Championships in Kazan. The experience that the capital of Tatarstan has accumulated in the field of sports volunteering and is currently putting to good use was presented at the Mashuk 2014 North Caucasus Youth Forum, which will run from August 4-17.
One of the experts who was invited to speak at the workshop session, titled ‘Russia Volunteer House’, was Lead Manager of the Volunteer Department at the Executive Directorate for Sports Projects, Yulia Sinizyna. The main purpose of the workshop session is to raise young people’s awareness of volunteer projects being implemented today in our country, ideas for promoting and developing these projects, methods and tools that are used in volunteer management, as well as to ensure a successful experience exchange between various agencies and organisations operating in the field of youth policy and volunteering.
