Project Timeline

14 February to 13 November 2012

Further to the literature reviews on community, friendship, charity, volunteering and well being conducted by Professor Kelemen and Dr. Mangan, New Vic Borderlines will develop a three-phase event involving eight groups of volunteers from across the area (including their own volunteers).  Phase 1 (Establishing the Volunteering Story) will comprise a series of interactive experiences to establish the volunteer story, including how people became involved in volunteering (was it entirely free-will or was some form of coercion or persuasion involved?).  Phase 2 (The Theatre Residential) will establish a new group of volunteers ‘The Connected Communities Volunteer Company’ formed with volunteers from the Phase 1 interactive workshops. This group will create a documentary performance to be held at the New Vic as part of an event for Volunteers and Practitioners (Phase 3).
