The volunteer program of the Hateg Country UNESCO Global Geopark was created in 2013. In a few years it has become one of the most popular and appreciated volunteering programme in Romania and has more than 400 volunteers registered.

During that time, volunteers were involved in exchanges, trips and personal development courses. ”Volunteers for Geopark” is aimed mainly at young people in the Hateg Country, but not only at them. The Volunteer Group core are the high school students at the Ion C. Brătianu High School of Hațeg, but anyone who wants to participate in the Geopark projects is welcome.

Many thanks, Cristian, for sharing with us some info on your volunteer programme and how it involves youth in the Geopark’s activities.
Your photo made me think of our partner @Crete_CORE_lab, which also provides a lot of youth-oriented activities at the Natural History Museum of Crete – University of Crete, especially to promote awareness of Crete’s natural history and disaster preparedness.

Which of your activities target youth to promote disaster resilience to natural hazards?

Let’s exchange fruitful insights!
