Year of publication: 2024

This innovative web tool has been carefully crafted by an international project team over the course of a year. It is designed to give a deeper and clearer understanding of volunteering and volontourism, focusing on:

  • How global structures are built and power is distributed.
  • How these dynamics shape the world we live in.
  • How volunteers, like you, interact with these systems.

Through interactive videos, quizzes, and resources, the tool invites users to explore:

  • The history of colonialism and its ongoing impact on globalization, climate, gender, and human rights.
  • Practical ways to reflect on and improve their volunteering practices.

Whether you are a volunteer, an educator, or simply curious about global justice, this tool is for you!

Additionally, we want to highlight that the Decolonize Tool can be used as part of your pre-departure training and to help prepare for the upcoming workcamps. It’s a great resource for reflection and learning, and we encourage you to incorporate it into your preparation process.
