DOBRO.CAST
By INEX - Sdružení dobrovolných aktivit
INEX-SDA presents a series of podcasts on volunteering and active citizenship in a global context.
The first series introduces different possibilities of international volunteering.
In this new season, we launch the project "Leave Your Mark!" to dive into the vibrant world of European Union initiatives. With the European elections coming up in June 2024, we invited ten representatives from EU institutions, NGOs and volunteers from across Europe. This project is supported by the European union.

Tackling gender-based violence together: A CERV Daphne project
Discover ways how to prevent and act against gender-based violence in our latest episode as we take a closer look at what it is and how we can fight it together. Gender-based violence is physical, sexual or psychological harm inflicted on the basis of gender. So what can we do about it? The CERV Daphne funded project DECIDES YA explores exactly that.
Meet Cristina Bosch, the program officer of the coordinating organisation interarts in Spain. She explains to us how interarts and their five partners across Europe educate about gender-based violence and empower young people to stand up against it through DECIDES YA. And how theater can help with that…She is then joined by Diana and Matej, students and participants of the initiative For Future under the DECIDES YA project in Romania. They tell us all about their experiences and how Asociatia Transcena, one of interarts’ partners, tackles gender-based violence through theater and digital storytelling as a profound educational tool for emotional connection and awareness. Matej and Diana share their transformative journeys and recognise education as the key to change. As they reflect on their experiences, their stories show the transformative power of education and empathy in combating this widespread problem. By standing together against gender-based violence, they remind us that while this global struggle will not be solved easily or quickly, every small step towards change is invaluable.

“Inequalities Matter”: the EU for an inclusive environmental citizenship
In this episode of the podcast, we look at initiatives working to defend the values of human rights and equality across Europe. We meet Valeria Fantini from the European Association for Local Democracy (ALDA), a platform bringing together over 300 NGOs and local authorities from all round Europe.
ALDA's latest EU-funded project, 'Inequalities Matters', focuses on climate change awareness and action, with a particular focus on vulnerable groups who are often excluded from such conversations. Through workshops and targeted engagement, ALDA aims to empower youth, older people, people with disabilities, people with migrational background and more to become active participants in shaping local democracy and environmental policy.
Join us as we explore how local efforts can facilitate inclusive citizen participation and foster a more sustainable future. Visit the ALDA website to learn more and get involved in environmental issues, or even become a member!
Plus, stay tuned for insights on combating gender-based violence and uncovering European history.
Volunteering throughout Europe: the European Solidarity Corps
We’re diving into one of the biggest European platforms in our second episode: the European Solidarity Corps (ESC), where young people up to the age of 30 can find a huge variety of short- and long-term volunteering projects across Europe.
INEX-SDA’s ESC project coordinator, Alena Cabalka, gives us a clearer impression about the platform itself and of how an NGO like INEX organises their projects for you as potential volunteers.
Siru Laine is also with us to tell us all about her experiences after volunteering one year for INEX through ESC in the Czech Republic. INEX-SDA, IG, FB

Erasmus+ Opportunities: More than studying abroad!
In our first episode of the new season, we break the myth of Erasmus+. It's not just about studying abroad, it's a gateway to endless adventures! Especially if you are 30 or younger: this is for you. However, many Erasmus+ funded projects have no age limit, so everyone can take part.
Grazia Cannarsa, Research and Information Manager at Eurodesk, tells us all about the Erasmus+ opportunities waiting for you on Eurodesk, Europe's youth information network.
We also talk with Dimitris Kounatiadis, Facilitator & Trainer for Erasmus+ projects, for a chat about his transformative journey as a facilitator and trainer for Erasmus+ programmes.
Discover the endless opportunities to learn and get involved within Europe!

International volunteering
In our second English episode, our moderator Fred talks to Pedro. An European Solidarity Corps volunteer from Brazil, who came to Prague to volunteer on a project called Football for development and he decided to lead a workcamp in the Czech republic as well. Perdo will share his story and experience with volunteering. And how was it to lead a workcamp in another country?
Inkluzivní dobrovolnictví
Díky programu Dobrovolnictví pro všechny se může do projektů zapojit opravdu každý zájemce, se znevýhodněním i bez něj. V rámci inkluzivního dobrovolnictví zapojujeme lidi s postižením, z dětských domovů, ze sociálně znevýhodněného prostředí, dlouhodobě nezaměstnané apod.
Ondřej tentokrát vyzpovídá Jitku, která s námi několikrát vyjela na projekty do zahraničí a se podělí o své zkušenosti.
Dobrovolníkem Evropského sboru solidarity
Petr se v srpnu vrátil z 10 měsíčního dobrovolnického projektu v gruzínském Ozurgeti, kam vyjel díky programu Evropský sbor solidarity (dříve EVS). I když po návratu měl spoustu práce, našel si čas na to, aby si s Ondřejem o své zkušenosti promluvil a dal ti tak možnost podívat se pod pokličku jak jeho projektu, tak i Gruzie jako takové. Pokud tě tahle možnost zaujme, neváhej! Do konce tohoto roku můžeš vyjet na ten samý projekt. Zažít tak krásu a přátelskost Gruzie na vlastní kůži a pak se vrátit s unikátními zážitky a vzpomínkami.
