In 1995 startte het Centrum voor Filantropische Studies aan de Vrije Universiteit het onderzoek Geven in Nederland, dat sindsdien elke twee jaar verschijnt. In deze dertiende editie van 'Geven in Nederland' worden de bijdragen van huishoudens, individuen, fondsen, bedrijven en goededoelenloterijen in kaart gebracht. Nederlanders beperken zich niet alleen tot het geven van geld maar verrichten ook vrijwilligerswerk op vele maatschappelijke terreinen. 'Geven in Nederland' geeft antwoord op de volgende vragen: Hoe vrijgevig is Nederland? Wie geeft aan welke doelen? Hoe heeft het geefgedrag zich de laatste 25 jaar ontwikkeld? 'Geven in Nederland' draagt bij aan de zichtbaarheid van maatschappelijk initiatief in Nederland ... Dat is belangrijk ter legitimatie van een zelfstandige en snel groeiende sector.

At a time when uneven power dynamics are high on development actors’ agenda, this book will be an important contribution to researchers and practitioners working on innovation in development and civil society.While there is much discussion of localization, decolonization and ‘shifting power’ in civil society collaborations in development, the debate thus far centers on the aid system. This book directs attention to CSOs as drivers of development in various contexts that we refer to as the Global South. This book take a transformative stance, reimagining roles, relations and processes. It does so from five complementary angles: (1) Southern CSOs reclaiming the lead, 2) displacement of the North–South dyad, (3) Southern-centred questions, (4) new roles for Northern actors, and (5) new starting points for collaboration. The book relativizes international collaboration, asking INGOs, Northern CSOs, and their donors to follow Southern CSOs’ leads, recognizing their contextually geared perspectives, agendas, resources, capacities, and ways of working. Based in 19 empirically grounded chapters, the book also offers an agenda for further research, design, and experimentation.Emphasizing the need to ‘Start from the South’ this book thus re-imagines and re-centers Civil Society collaborations in development, offering Southern-centred ways of understanding and developing relations, roles, and processes, in theory and practice.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

What makes young people want to learn, commit and become involved in an activity? This issue is of particular interest to teachers, but also to employers. In order to provide some answers, the authors of this book are interested in a specific population: young people aged 16 to 25 who have freely chosen to get involved in associations as varied as sport, politics, the environment, humanitarian work or events. Based on interviews, this study traces the volunteer careers of some forty young women and men from all social categories. They proudly recall the responsibilities that were entrusted to them very early on in a structured, flexible and benevolent associative world. Their testimonies help to highlight the many learning and skills that the volunteer experience has enabled them to develop.
