  Main issues

  The City of La Ferté-Bernard, in the Sarthe, organised with iriv, the 27th of February 2004, a Regional Symposyium on Sport Volunteering. People in charge of associations in the Sarthe's cities, the general council (Sarthe) and the regional council (Pays de la Loire Region ) were invited to this special event whose main goal was to celebrate 2004 as European Year for Education in Sport (EYES 2004) with an emphasis on sport volunteering : its issues for the clubs, local authorities and the general public. It was meant to be the first step for a more developped study on sport volunteering on a European level. The Institute was associated to this special event to initiate an analysis and a debate, to make proposals with all the participants to improve knowledge and recognition of sport volunteering. The participants were chosen on the basis of their expertise in volunteering, sport and associative life. This event was presented on the website Calenda. The sympsyum was entertained by Emilien Borderie, journalist at radio Val d'Huyne fm (abstracts of the presentation made on the radio).

• Volunteering and employment : competition or complementarity ? - organisatrice - The main critic made to volunteers is to be job killers. On the contrary, volunteers may create jobs and develop markets on the basis of needs that weren't considered enough before them. - Symposium, Palais du Luxembourg , Paris, under the aegis of Senator Claude Huriet, 14th of December 1998
  
  

  Main issues

  Is volunteering dangerous for paid staff ? Are paid staff and volunteers competitors or complements?

  There are two kinds of analysis. The opponents consider volunteers as job killers. The defenders see volunteers as innovative models and essential auxiliaries.

  Our Institute gathered, in December 1998, experts, professors and managers in the non profit sector who were concerned by the question.

  Should we propose something like a "status of the active" to reconciliate both camps ?
  Testimonies from managers from associations in the social, health and cultural sectors were quite edifying.

  The World Days for Youngsters in 1997 and the World Football Cup in 1998, were clear proof that paid staff and volunteers may act as complements on the ground. This complementarity was a key issue for the success of these two major events both organised in Paris.

• Which status for the volunteer ? - organisatrice - So many volunteers, so many different situations. Would a status be conceivable? Which kind of protection or recognition to offer to the volunteer ? - Symposium, Palais du Luxembourg, Paris, under the aegis of Senator Bernard Seillier – 1st of July 1998
  
  

  Main issues

  Why do volunteers exist?
  For the sceptic, a volunteer may be incompetent and even dishonest (Philippe Malaurie) ; a volunteer may be clumsy (Anne Marchand) ; a volunteer may also compete with paid staff (Jean Savatier) ; For the disillusioned, volunteerring is an easy way for the government to save money (Michèle-Laure Rassat) ; when the volunteer is getting skilled , he/she may become a second -class paid staff (Hugues Portelli);
  For the enthusiastic, the volunteer plays a major role in society ; he/she supports the oustsiders (poor, homeless, sick or handicapped people) ; he contributes to the International humanitarian support .

  Is a status conceivable for the volunteer ?
  There is no legal framework for the volunteer, but some dispatched refererences in several texts. A status would lead to a better recognition (Christophe Borgel et Hugues Portelli) ; a training for volunteers (Jean Bastide and Jean-Pierre Sueur); a much higher involvement of paid staff in volunteering especially with the increase of free time (Dominique Delpirou); a minimum protection of volunteers towards abuse in repayment of back taxes (Brigitte Clavagnier) and for abuse in the penal responsibility (Jean-Pierre Balligand).
