Why do #IVCO2025 partners agree that measuring📏volunteering matters?
✅It reveals the true value of volunteering & exposes its gaps & improvements
✅Boosts development results
✅Makes invisible volunteering visible
Coming soon: #SWVR2026 on the power of volunteer measurement!

ECPAT presenting on the distinction between volunteering and voluntourism at #IVCO2025, outlining the Child Protection and Safeguarding dangers. The session acknowledges that voluntourism isn't going to stop and offers practical guidelines on how voluntourism could be made better through regulation.
So good to hear Sujin Cha from KOICA talk about the structural barriers to international volunteering faced by people with disabilities at #IVCO2025.
The session on "Supporting Volunteers to Access Their Work - Responding to limits on Visas and Work Permits, and other Barriers" is about to begin at #IVCO2025. One of the timely and pressing challenges facing international volunteerism - important to come together to share and collaborate.
The "Volunteering in challenging environments - Lived experiences from the field" session at #IVCO2025. Fantastic to hear directly from current and recent international volunteers.
MCC Cambodia International Seek Facilitator, Oscar Suarez, shares about MCC's exchange programs as part of a panel discussion on the International Exchange of Volunteers between Civil Society Organisations at #IVCO2025.
