ASPIRE 

 

 

 


 
Text Box: ASPIRE Phase 1 has a focus on Discovery. It is a discovery that investigates the skills and competencies within the Volunteer Centres, a comparison of structures and conditions, as well as business development planning and technology needs. The project also re-energises the VC Standards.

The discovery is enhanced by 3 research programmes:

¨        Social Economy Labour Market Analysis Tools

¨        Alternative Learning/Training Methods

 

Phase 1 has been developed to stand alone with a clear set of outcomes that have sufficient value in themselves.

 

Actions include telephone questionnaires, guided discussions with groups and individuals, the application of established tools for investigating learning and development issues, and the trialing of new approaches to networking and learning.

 

To minimise the time commitment for participants, full use is mode of established Internet-based communication means, including the VC Intranet and the e-Bulletin. Direct contract involving travel is kept down by linking to Network schedules and brining the facilitators to the organisations involved. Webcams are provided to all participating organisations (as well as help with their use if required).

 

The Project Plan provides for dissemination of its results and a national conference to report on the project Outcomes.
