Tulip Foundation was selected to participate in the Technical Assistance project which aim is to support organisations in upgrading their systems in line with the quality standards required by EU Aid Volunteers, and by doing so double the number of accredited sending organisations. The idea behind the platform is to create community of practice, mutual learning, experience exchange and partnership creation.

The project was initiated by four organisations - Alianza por la solidaridad, Volonteurope, HBAid and GVC who combine and share expertise in humanitarian aid and volunteer management with the other organisations from across Europe  - Chance for Life (Romania), Imago Mundi (Romania), Asociatia Act Integration (Romania), Croatian Baptist Aid, Foundation for Africa (Hungary), Területfejlesztők a Vidékért Egyesület (Hungary), Solidarite Laique (France), La Ligue de l'enseignement, Fédération des Vosges (FR), SOS Malta, ARCI Catania (Italy), CESVOT (Italy), ARCS Culture Solidali (Italy), Gondwana (Italy), Volunteering Matters (UK), ASUR (Spain), MPDL (Spain) and Tulip Foundation (Bulgaria).

The organisations will pass through a series of webinars until the end of 2016 which will be followed by technical assistance visits in 2017.
