Fostering Transparency and Inclusion
IVY’s shared goal is to promote European Territorial Cooperation, and at the Association of European Border Regions, we believe that this can only be achieved through solidarity and mutual respect among every person participating in IVY.
The IVY policy serves as our guiding principles, supporting everyone involved in the programme.
These policy has two key objectives:
- Safety and Respect: They ensure that every person feels safe, included, and respected throughout their IVY experience.
- Values and Clarity: They enable every participant to be fully aware of IVY’s objectives and
principles.
IVY is based on a voluntary experience of the participants, with the aim of supporting European Territorial Cooperation.
Volunteers complement and enhance regular work and are not intended to replace paid staff. By participating in IVY, volunteers actively contribute to shaping Interreg.
The policy upholds these principles and ensure that the IVY volunteering programme remains open
and welcoming to all.
By setting out these rules, the policy ensures the quality, transparency and consistency of the volunteering experiences across all participating countries.
