Rijeka will be the European Capital of Culture in 2020 and it is seen as an opportunity to secure a lasting legacy of volunteers in many fields of culture and cultural heritage.
Collaborating with the two networks that we are members of, the European Volunteer Centre (CEV) and the Croatian Volunteer Development Centre (CVCN), we were able to implement the recent European Volunteering in Culture Capacity Building conference (VIC). This marked an important moment and gave a significant contribution to our preparations alongside the Rijeka 2020 agency and the City of Rijeka, to ensure a successful year as the European Capital of Culture in 2020.
