Give to Gain project: celebrating volunteers in Glasgow



We are getting ready and we are nearly there!!! The next week-end (from friday 21st to Sunday 23rd of February 2014) the Hazelwood House in Glasgow will become the fabulous setting for the final phase of the Give to Gain project. Volunteers from all the five countries who have participated (Uk, Ireland, Spain, Slovenia and Sweden) will get together, exchange experience, have fun and celebrate the end of the project. One of the highlights of the Conference will be writer and enterpreneur Tom Cassidy that will give a workshop about self-awareness, personal development and identity.

Here there are some more details about the topics that will be discussed during the week-end:
 
1- Give to GAIN! How volunteering develops transferable skills
Increase the value of volunteering and develop skills to apply to different areas of your professional development! You will also learn a series of 'interactional algorithms' that will apply to all areas of your lives.

2- How do you see yourself?
Raising awareness of the importance of identity and the role it plays in creating a successful life.
This workshop will help you develop self-awareness as an individual. Understand yourself more deeply and become more aware of the difference between external and internal motivations by learning a series of ‘thought algorithms’.

3- What are you putting in?
Introduction to 'The Sausage Machine', the ultimate 'action algorithm' for getting better results in all areas of life.
Ever heard about the sausage machine? Learn how to use the metaphor to create more of what you want and less of what you don't want in life. Other concepts such as 'marginal gains' and 'one thing at a time' will also be discussed to help participants make steady and sustainable progress towards their life goals without feeling overwhelm. Happiness is a journey, not a destination!
