SCI Switzerland is proud to announce the release of our newest educational resource: the “Decolonize Volunteering” web tool!
This interactive tool is designed to provide a deeper and clearer understanding of volunteering and “volontourism.” It invites users to explore how global structures are built, how power is distributed, and how volunteers interact with these dynamics.
Over the course of a year, this tool was carefully developed by an international project team and funded by Movetia. It is a comprehensive and user-friendly platform that offers insights into topics like:
- The history and lasting impact of colonialism.
- The relationship between colonial legacies and modern global blackmartapks.com keelanow.com alsoran.net huahinradio.net 20marts.com challenges such as globalization, climate, gender, and human rights.
- How volunteers can rethink their approach to foster equitable and responsible change.
Whether you’re a volunteer, educator, or someone curious about global justice, this tool is for you.
