it is claimed that having volunteers is a tradition in Frysllan
thanks to that base many international contacts exist, and there to be used.
expect to involve 30.000 people as volunteers or as ambassadors.
aim "to engage citizens in creative and varied ways and establish new partnerships to maximise participation in the programmes" without naming it to be audience building
rather a general educational programme is envisioned so as to widen the basise of cultural interested people and this by enhancing their skills
estimated is that about 2.000 volunteers shall play an active part in the programme
of which 1750 people will receive a training by the Stenden University.

Note: The Stenden University has developed an excellent program for hosting international guests. This is of advantage when there is a shortage of hotels and other kinds of accommodation.

Further measures planned:

- to advance the volunteer programme, Leeuwarden draws lessons from other ECoCs

- wishes to engage volunteers through a bottom-up process

- contact to the Volunteer Service Point Leeuwarden means a large pool of volunteers

- shall use a Volunteer Relationship Database to manage contacts

- A small international volunteering programme stimulates travelling and exchange.
