			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do volunteers really make an impact in communities? What lessons learned and best practices do volunteer coordinators have to share? What are the benefits and challenges of working with international volunteers?</p>
<p><strong>If you&#8217;re up to discussing these questions and more, join <a href="http://www.idealistas.org">Idealistas.org</a> on December 4 to honor <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Volunteer_Day" target="_blank">International Volunteer Day</a>!</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;<a href="http://www.idealistas.org/evento" target="_blank">Ser Voluntario: Mil formas posibles</a>&#8221; is a free mini-conference dedicated to all things volunteering. This year we&#8217;re doing it a bit different. Instead of listening to preselected speakers, participants will have the opportunity to listen to each other.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2821" title="Theprinciplesofopenspace" src="http://lavidaidealist.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Theprinciplesofopenspace2.jpg" alt="Theprinciplesofopenspace" width="324" height="216" /></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how it will work: recognized experts, volunteer coordinators, representatives from organizations, current and former volunteers, and more will have the opportunity to present a topic of their choice. (Think <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference" target="_blank">Unconference</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Space_Technology" target="_blank">Open Space</a>.) Everyone &#8220;nays&#8221; or &#8220;yays&#8221; the topics presented. Once there is a list of discussion themes, the group splits off and chats away.  In the spirit of keeping this <em>jornada</em> dynamic and interactive, we&#8217;re also inviting everyone to bring any materials they&#8217;d like to hand out and/or present.</p>
<p>Of course we&#8217;d love to see you there.  But if you can&#8217;t make it and still want to participate, you can always follow online. To learn more and RSVP, go to: www.idealistas.org/evento</p>
