10 October 2024
From October 7-13, 2024, Chisinau becomes the capital of volunteering, on the occasion of the Volunteer Week, held under the slogan “I choose to be a volunteer.” The event aims to promote young people’s active involvement in the community by giving them the opportunity to participate in various activities and share volunteering experiences.
On 8 October, volunteers from the Chisinau Youth Centres organized a flashmob “I choose to be a volunteer” at the Arc de Triomphe.
Asked why they volunteer, young people participating in the flashmob told us that they have the opportunity to learn about volunteering and discover new ways to get involved in the community
“Volunteering gives me self-confidence and I get a lot of personal and professional benefits,” says participant Ana Covali.
“I choose to do volunteering for my own development and to be as actively involved as possible in the change for a better and prosperous life in our city, Chisinau”, says Irina Munteanu, participant.
At the same time, the registration for the 2024 edition of the Municipal Festival of Volunteers was launched!
“The Municipal Festival of Volunteers is an event that comes to promote volunteering and civic activism in Chisinau municipality”, says Petru Grecu, director of the Chisinau Municipal Youth Center.
Participants will have the opportunity to compete in several categories, each representing an area where volunteers can have a major impact. The festival is aimed at anyone who has volunteered in 2024 and wants to showcase their work.
The municipality invests in young volunteers in the municipality because they have been that force that over the years have helped and have been there to provide support and help.
