The Arab Federation for Voluntary Work Conference was launched in Cairo yesterday, with the participation of 16 Arab countries.
The conference is part of the celebration of the Arab Volunteer Work Day, which takes place on September 15 of each year and lasts for four days under the slogan “The Role of the Media in Developing Volunteering.”
The conference program includes honoring leading volunteer and media figures, signing international and Arab agreements, as well as conducting various visits to learn about volunteer experiences in Egypt.
Additionally, there will be a symposium for media professionals to discuss their role in spreading the culture of volunteer work in the Arab world and highlighting the role of volunteering at the continental and international levels. Fieldwork papers on volunteer work will also be discussed.
The conference program will also launch a new project under the slogan “Retired Volunteer” to serve retired leaders who have had a significant impact in 12 specializations in serving the community.
Furthermore, a protocol will be signed with the German organization “Humanity First,” which has extensive experience and has actively participated with the union in volunteer work. This protocol will serve the associations that directly serve the community.
For her part, the head of the Arab Federation for Voluntary Work noted that the conference is being held in Egypt for the second consecutive year due to its strategic location and the facilities it provides. Protocols will be signed on the sidelines of the conference to serve the Egyptian community and the Arab community in general.
The Arab Federation for Voluntary Work was established by a Qatari initiative in 2003, and Doha was chosen as the headquarters of the Arab Federation for Voluntary Work.
