FORUM Papers
FORUM has created a Discussion Paper series over the years – the idea behind FORUM Discussion Papers is to ensure that we effectively realise the added value of FORUM as a network of International Volunteering Cooperation Organisations (IVCOs) within our capacity to deliver. It is not our primary intention to pursue a high level academic research model, but to intervene in debates around the key issues facing IVCOs, drawing on the experiences of FORUM members and other IVCOs, mapping future trends, identifying key challenges and practical ways forward.
FORUM works to a set of Research Protocols, for more information. click here
