This is a workshop with participation of the target group, partners, coworkers working with the target group and DHL employees.

The aim of the workshop is to create a plan for the calendar year taking into account all the relevant parties inputs in respect of dates, times, kind of activity and its relevance in respect of the needs of the target group, resources (budget; venue; catering; transport; etc.); volunteer and target group availability.

What to consider for this workshop:

  • The needs of the target group
  • To collectively find possible opportunities to address the needs taking into account the skills / capabilities of the DHL team
  • To formulate a plan of activities together, which will be implemented during the course of a calendar year
  • Activities should be specified using a planning template (excel),
    • Describing the activity
    • The number of young people / children / refugees participating
    • Number of volunteers participating
