L'Università del Volontariato e la formazione dei volontari civili

The University of Volunteers is a training process agreement between the University of Venice and the volunteer community of the province of Treviso. He responds to the third mission of the university which emphasizes that the universities must take a fundamental new objective alongside the traditional ones of higher education and scientific research: the dialogue with society, an opening towards the socio-economic environment by exploiting and knowledge transfer. The demand for such a mission is also given by the emergence of study and research contexts that are increasingly crossing ethical aspects of society and increasingly engage communication with the public. In particular the person services social environment that in the light of a complex society requires a greater development between participation, knowledge and problems solving in a system of interacting networks. As part of the services to the person volunteering stems from the spontaneous decision to offer a service, free and disinterested, to individuals or to a community, devoting time, expertise and passion. To adequately meet the requests that are turned to volunteers, it is increasingly necessary to have a sufficient wealth of human, technical, sectorial and cross-cutting skills. The project volunteering university is designed to candidate volunteers, to already active volunteers, to members of legal organizations (voluntary associations, social promotion associations, NGO, circles and University of the Third Age), to students in training, to citizens who want to build and / or strengthen its commitment inside the third sector. The course of study includes diversified units together with the recognition of study credits that will make up the total required for an attendance certificate. Ca 'Foscari’s students will be provided of CFU recognition inside their individual study course, after evaluation of their training course, by the Teaching College.
