14 Dec 22 GLOBAL UMH Podcast Part 2<\/a><\/p>\n

December 5 marks International Volunteer Day, and we wanted to commemorate this date with a special program from the lecture hall in the Pla\u00e7a de Baix of the Miguel Hern\u00e1ndez University of Elche (UMH).<\/p>\n

This program was part of the 18th<\/sup> Volunteerism Promotion Workshops that the UMH organizes through its Vice Rectorate for International Relations and the Service of International Relations, Development Cooperation and Volunteerism.<\/p>\n

Over the course of two hours, we chatted with Vicente Micol, Vice Rector for International Relations, on the state of volunteering at the UMH, as well as with Inmaculada Blaya, the director of the Service of International Relations, Development Cooperation and Volunteerism, about the latest on the volunteering program in Rwanda<\/a>. Other participants included Laura Parrilla, a technician from said service, who informed us about the telephone accompaniment program, The UMH Accompanies You;<\/a> and colleagues from the UMH Environmental and Sustainable Development Area told us about the full range of possibilities they offer in relation to environmental engineering<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, Josu\u00e9 Cerd\u00e1n, a technician from the Council of Development Cooperation and Volunteerism<\/a> at the Elche City Hall, highlighted the work that this public body carries out. And Miguel Le\u00f3n, a representative from the Valencian Coordinator of NGOs, explained in detail how the Coordinator functions and the values that drive its actions.<\/p>\n

To conclude, a roundtable was held with volunteers, and they shared their experiences related to volunteering. We would like to thank the entities of the Elche Red Cross<\/a>, Entrepobles<\/a>, Oxfam Interm\u00f3n<\/a>, Solidaridad Internacional del Pa\u00eds Valenciano (SIPV)<\/a>, and Visi\u00f3n Solidaria<\/a> for their interventions in this roundtable.<\/p>\n

This program was produced and presented by Sergio Murillo and Luis Sempere.<\/p>\n

This action is part of the University Development Cooperation program at the UMH, which receives funding by the General Directorate of International Development Cooperation, of the Ministry of Participation, Transparency, Cooperation and Democratic Quality at the Generalitat Valenciana.<\/p>\n
