Title: Promoting responsible volunteering over harmful ‘voluntourism’
Speaker: Penny Dane
Description:
As many students are thinking about what to do during a gap year, or the long summer holidays, they may be tempted by advertisements for opportunities to volunteer around the world. On the face of it, these opportunities may seem to be helping disadvantaged communities, but many of them can cause significant harm. We will look at a case study of harmful volunteering, and then look at opportunities for responsible volunteering.
