Between 15th-16th March, AVI hosted a meeting of the Executive Board of the International FORUM on Development Service (known as “FORUM”). As FORUM regularly commissions research on issues related to international volunteering – the Melbourne meeting was a great opportunity to help shape the theme and program of the 2010 Annual FORUM Conference as well as progress research plans and strategies for information sharing, learning and networking between FORUM representatives. AVI staff and FORUM Members directly benefited from the opportunity to work together in person and create a closer connection for cross-organisational linkages to strengthen the contribution of international volunteering. The flurry of email exchange since the meeting has been a testament to this!
