"After a full year of initiatives that has seen volunteers across Europe engage in promotion, information and awareness-raising activities, the European Year of Voluntary Activities Promoting Active Citizenship (2011) has just come to an end, passing the baton to 2012, the European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations. This will be another important occasion to reflect on the value of volunteering in everyday life and to give older people the chance to make their own contribution to the growth of solidarity in the community. In light of the many initiatives and debates during 2011, it has been shown that voluntary activities are a tool for individuals and associations to tackle human needs and concerns, whether social, intergenerational or environmental. Emphasis has been placed on volunteering as an expression of active citizenship in all spheres of social life and as an essential activity for the development of democratic values, human dignity, equality and subsidiarity. Volunteering silently assumes the role of catalyst for social change and is an indispensable tool in encouraging the active support of society."@en1
