Description

The pilot project “Volunteering and Digitalization” carried out by the Stiftung Zürcher Gemeinschaftszentren, explores how existing analogue volunteer networks can be translated into hybrid and digital formats in order to foster participation, relationship-building, and collective action within neighbourhoods, thereby ultimately strengthening civil society.

The ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences supports the project through research-based accompaniment, analysing the collected data and helping to develop practical models for the sustainable integration of digital approaches into volunteer work.
