Session 1

On the morning of January 26, 2012 at 10:00 AM, OAMGMAMR opened the Second Meeting of the IVISOC. Mr. Viorel Gavrilescu, the president of OAMGMAMR Dolj, welcomed all partners and initiated the discussions planned.

The first item on the agenda was the presentation of the website and blog, constructed by the Association “Prometeo 2000”. Mr. Francesco Mangiaracina presented the structure and format of the website to project partners. Following this, partners contributed ideas and suggestions regarding layout and design, in relation to both the ‘home’ page and sub-​​pages. Mr. Francesco Mangiaracina also made ​​several specifications relating to website maintenance and hosting for the 2 year period, and for a 5 year period beyond the project life-time. For the total period of 7 years, it was calculated that hosting the website will cost €420 euro and Mr. Francesco Mangiaracina proposed that this sum be divided equally among partners to support the cost this. Further  proposal: during the meeting in Palermo all partners, except for Prometeo 2000, will pay some items with equivalent value ( euro 60,00 per partner).

Point two of this session was to discuss the questionnaire developed by Eur.adi.po.net. Partners collaborated on the questionnaire development, re-wording particular questions to enable and understanding in each country. The layout and flow of the questionnaire was considered in depth and improvements were finalized and agreed among all partners
Session 2

Ms. Belinda Pratten made a short presentation about the template for the Country Reports, explaining the necessity and relevance of key questions asked. All partners agreed that the deadline for translating the template (only specific to certain countries) be moved to February the 29th, 2012. Partners with experience of recruitment also presented on the issues and challenges related to this, and during these presentations discussions concluded the main ideas that secure a successful recruiting method. 

Session 3

After lunch, partners continued to present on matters regarding recruitment, and following this it was decided that the questionnaire be revised to include further points raised during the discussion. It was also established that each partner should complete 3 x questionnaires with organisations with an interest in volunteering in social care sectors, and that the deadline for this completion be February the 29th, 2012. 


Friday the 27th of January (2012), Craiova (RO), Parc Hotel

Session 1

During the morning of the 27th of January we visited the St. Mary's Complex because OAMGMAMR Dolj felt it important to demonstrate how volunteers are (and volunteering is) assisting to develop medical-social activities for older people. The manager of the St. Mary`s Complex, Dr. Constantinescu Lidia, lead the visit and presented all aspects of the St. Mary’s Complex, it’s needs and it’s achievements, and partners had the priviledge of meeting both cares and older people and observed the therapeutic equipment provided (physiokinetotherapy). Mr. Stefan Radu and Dr. Constantinescu Lidia answered questions about the volunteer activities and the ‘model’ of the St. Mary’s Complex.
