Facebook event: WHAT DOES VOLUNTARISM MEAN TO YOU?

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=100399786717139

This is an activity to promote voluntarism within the European Week of Voluntarism and the European Volunteer Service (EVS) project "Globe in the Mirror II" financed by the EU Youth in Action program and held at Art Fusion Association in Bucharest, Romania.

We would like to make an exhibition in Bucharest with the sentences that best describe: WHAT DOES VOLUNTARISM MEAN TO YOU?
We encourage all former and present volunteers to participate for the world to know more about voluntarism. This is an opportunity to share your own thoughts about it and promote voluntarism worldwide.

Post your answer/sentence/quotes/short stories here and they will have the chance to be exposed in Bucharest during the several events of the European Week of Voluntarism.

Thank you for volunteering!

FLASHMOB: Waiting for Recycling !

A.R.T. Fusion invites you to celebrate the Earth Day

FLASH MOBS and actions to know how to take care of our planet !

A flash mob is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual action for a brief time, then quickly disperse

PLACE: Recylcing conteiners in front of the Cercul Militar National (Bulevardul Regina Elisabeta)

DATE: Thursday, 21 April, 18:00

DURATION: Until somebody reacts

"Waiting for Recicling"

TIME: 18:00

What do you have to do? At 18:00 o’ clock everybody must be around the area that surrounds the containers in front of the Cercul Militar National, act normal, as if you’re waiting for something, resting, reading a magazine, eating or talking. Also at 18:00 there will be a person that will start throwing garbage to the floor around the containers, the rest of the people just have to act normal. We just have to wait for the reaction of somebody, possibilities:

a) if somebody reacts and help and put the garbage in the containers, everybody just have to stop acting normal and start clapping and help also to put all the garbage in the right containers.

b) In case that somebody reacts in not such a good way, don’t react unless the guy who’s throwing the garbage to the floor whistles. If you listen to the whistle you all come and put the garbage in the right containers, if there is no whistle, just continue to act casual until somebody try to show the guy where it is suppose to put the garbage and then clapping and separate !

So the point of the flashmob is to people notice that the containers exists, and that we can do more. Also, when it is time to clap the person that helps to put the garbage on the containers, really give that person a strong applause, hug her if you want to ! We want people to not forget about it !

This initiative is part of the Globe in the Mirror II project, initiated by ART Fusion Association and financially supported by the European Comission through Youth in Action Program

EARTH DAY 'Recycling container hunt'

What to do with all these plastic bottles? What about the pieces of used paper? And the glass bottles?
The answer is: Recycle them!

Globe in the Mirror is a team of volunteers within the European Voluntary Service Youth in Action program. One of our many activities is Earth day for which we have planned a 'recycling container hunt' that is going to be organized in order to form a final map of București with all recycling containers marked on it (this will be available on-line). But the city is big, so we need the most people possible to help us fill in this map. Join the 'recycling container hunt' on the 21st April at 4PM at Piața Revoluției and help us find where all the recycling containers are in the city.
You will get a special surprise at the end!
