CSI contribution to Volunteering Report
The
"Report on the Situation and Perspectives of Civic Engagement in Germany" is a state of the art report on volunteering
in the Federal Republic. It gives policy recommendations for political and corporate leaders, civil society and further
research. Funded by the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth (BMFSFJ) and assembled by the
Social Science Research Center Berlin (WZB), the report especially addresses the relationship between volunteering and
families. For this purpose Konstantin Kehl and Volker Then from CSI were asked for an expert report on volunteering in
multi-generation housing developments. The paper can be downloaded from the
WZB project website (in German).
