Estonian NGOs are starting to create better opportunities for newly arrived immigrants to find their way to local civic initiatives and to contribute to society. Within the framework of the initiative implemented by the Estonian Village Movement Kodukant and the Network of Estonian Non-profit Organisations, the three-language and user-friendly web portal Volunteer Gateway will be transformed, among other things, and the ability of associations to involve people from different linguistic groups in their activities will be increased.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe forthcoming\nProject will certainly contribute to the wider spread of volunteering, as\nseveral studies point to the great interest of newly arrived immigrants living\nin Estonia in participating in voluntary activities. However, only a small\nnumber of them have reached to real actions so far. The main obstacle for newly\narrived immigrants is the lack of information on volunteering opportunities,\nbecause information is mostly available in Estonian only. In NGOs’ view, the\nmain challenge has been the lack of awareness of NGOs about the possibilities\nof involving newly arrived immigrants and the fear that the inclusion of people\nspeaking other languages into the community will lead to additional work\u201d, explained\nEha Paas, the leader of the voluntary sector in Kodukant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order\nfor the web portal Volunteer Gateway to meet the needs of potential volunteers\nand volunteering intermediary organisations in the best way, on June 12th at 10.00-14.00,\nKodukant is planning an analysis seminar in Tallinn, where everyone is welcome.\nYou can let us know by your contact details below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are\nalso welcome to provide feedback to the web portal Volunteer Gateway so that we\ncan make it more relevant to the user’s expectations. A questionnaire for\nvolunteers is at https:\/\/forms.gle\/xMybfLZB4bWZqKVG7<\/a> and a questionnaire for volunteering\nintermediary organisations is at https:\/\/forms.gle\/Rt9giEzNg9za1KjY6<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volunteer-oriented\nactivities will be focused primarily on Harju County, Ida-Viru County and Tartu\nCounty. In each of these counties, at least three communities will be\nidentified that would like to consider thoroughly how to successfully integrate\nnewly arrived immigrants into their activities: autumn training is planned in\neach county, and then all participants in the training can contribute to the\nvolunteer friend’s label counselling programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please let\nus know by email tanelmatlik@gmail.com<\/a> by June 1 about your interest to\nparticipate in the Project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Project\n\u201cPromotion of Volunteering of Newly Arrived Immigrants in Estonia\u201d is financed\nby the European Social Fund and the Estonian state. Project activities are\nexpected to start in late May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
