"Cross-border volunteering is an important opportunity for intercultural enrichment for young people. I agree that Member States should recognise the benefits of participation in cross-border volunteer activities, as they provide citizens with new skills, contributing to their employability and mobility and strengthening the development of social inclusion.
Furthermore, I agree that for students, the skills acquired through volunteering should be included in the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System. Volunteering can help young people in their career choices, and the skills acquired have considerable importance in professional life.
The creation of a European Skills Passport would represent substantial motivation for volunteers because it would allow for the official recognition of the skills they acquire, both for professional and learning purposes. The existing information network must be improved in order to make everyone aware of volunteering opportunities. I support the creation of a centralised EU portal, which would include a volunteer resources database and provide information on cross-border volunteering, including the programmes available, their costs and the conditions for participation. In order for a European network and information exchange to be implemented, it is primarily the responsibility of Member States to draw up volunteer programmes across EU borders."@en1
