Eco-volontariat - juin 2023
Interview given by the president of the iriv to the site NowU which addresses young people on subjects that concern them, such as eco-volunteering. The president of the iriv wanted to alert young people who would like to engage in volunteer missions abroad about the NGOs that host them, the framework of their intervention and the pitfalls of certain organizations presenting themselves as "not for profit" while they are tourism organizations doing "greenwashing".
Think Diverse - mai 2023
The Italian project partner Think Diverse has published a final post thanking the European team for their participation in this important project: encouraging creativity to defend diversity. The final publication coordinated by the iriv consists of a diversity management manual offering an international panorama (iriv), then a national approach of the three facets addressed by the project (Skill up & Eurosviluppo, Neotalentway, iriv): gender and sexual orientation, mental health, culture and religion. The experiments carried out in the three countries using the "creative sets" made by the artistic partners (TAG, Curva Polar and Lirac) allowed us to analyse which themes were the most sensitive to explain to young people to train professionals. Examples of good practices were suggested: festival of diversity (short films by the association Faisceau convergent), journey of diversity (proposed to PAris by the iriv at the last European meeting), all using media familiar to young people (videos that become real short films when they have required editing, directing...).
L'Humanité - avril 2023
nterview of the president of the iriv for an article by Pablo Paturin on the 45,000 future volunteers of the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games (JOP) and the action of activists who denounce an «antisocial» company and wish to volunteer to hinder the event, which they consider harmful for the planet and the inhabitants of the working-class neighborhoods. The president of the iriv suggests a more nuanced approach - OJ volunteers are happy and proud to attend a major event for sport even though they understand that this media showcase is being used by activists to denounce the problems posed by the organization of these major events (environment, inclusion of all...). Both logics are perfectly legitimate.
Neotalentway - avril 2023
Presentation of the European meeting of the Think Diverse in Paris by the Spanish team of the Think Diverse, emphasizing the visits prepared on the first day and the conference of the second day organized by the iriv.
OEC Paris & Ile de France - février 2023
2023 is the European Year of Competence. With cooperation, these are the two essential conditions to ensure the sustainability of an association in the face of declining public or private funding. Competition is increasingly strong between associations despite the growing needs of beneficiaries (public associations). The phenomenon has worsened in more uncertain times with a troubled geopolitics (Covid pandemic and war in Ukraine). Associations must cooperate to pool their resources and skills while respecting their associative project and remaining free of their initiatives. This webinar provides good reasons for cooperation, and suggests effective strategies for successful cooperation, while illustrating suggestions with practical examples. The president of the iriv has been participating in the work of the Comité associations de l'ordre des experts-comptables de Paris Ile de France (OEC Paris IdF) since 2017. This wébinaire was proposed at the JMA in July 2022, and takes up all its topicality in February 2023.
Pourquoi le bénévolat donne du sens à nos vies? - février 2023
But why are we really committed? To be useful, to defend a cause or to have new skills… What makes it so that if our time is limited, the one we decide to give to others has no price? What can volunteering offer us? And what can we learn from our commitment? The daily program of RFI (Radio France) questioned these questions by inviting the president of the iriv and the general delegate and founder of Tous Bénévoles, an organization that connects volunteers and associations.
