Intellectual Output V

Leader: Bremen Ministry of Justice and Constitution
Description: This is focus in creating an online platform to bring together CJS, volunteering organisations and volunteers, allowing sharing that would otherwise not happen. The platform will be launch on a national workshop, in which it will be presented and invitation will be made for stakeholders to use it in a beta version that will become final at IO final month. It is expected that each country will involve the participants of the project to become users - volunteering managers and volunteers - but also other project stakeholders.
