"without cause Voluntary social?

as valid to include in the collective volunteer groups who organize to have fun ? We will give you a case. ImprovEverywhere

is an initiative of civilians who are organized for the express purpose of causing scenes of chaos and joy in public places. Yes, you read correctly chaos and said at once.

The movement, if you decide awarded this distinction was created in 2001 by Charlie Todd in New York. The dynamics are as follows:

people are registered as volunteers in a mailing list on the website of ImprovEverywhere and become Agents and receive, via e-mail, instructions (they sometimes), date and place of missions to be undertaken.

only works in New York. If someone wants to do it in another space, would have to organize their own group of agents and design their own missions, creating chaos and joy.

An example of the missions that have made it:

Frozen Grand Central Station.
people appeared at the time and place where they were called, not knowing that. Once there, they were given the instructions.

Undercover Number: 207
The mission: to stay completely still in the posture in which the voice were like statues!

Is this voluntary work?

We are talking about collective action, nonprofit organization organized for a common good. Is it just a game? We will launch a hypothesis:

People attending this type of volunteer participate in a recreational activity, sensitization and awareness in the fully social.

Our arguments:

is a exercise confidence, as people come to a collective call without knowing what they're doing, you may be things that would not dare to do individually, but this time more people act like themselves, they will go blind . Once

are the agents and action, we suspect that there will be a range of emotions and feelings to flow freely and intensely shared from person to person, teaching them live their own join other capacity of goals identified through common free and overflowing of the group itself to be donated to the watching people. One

deepest fears and universal is that which makes us change, chaos, crisis, or whatever you want to call other commands unknown or unusual in the life of every person and every community. Could this game serve organized, and in whose development participate voluntarily accepts, teach us to reconcile the need for security and the need for change ?

García Roca said that the volunteers of our time need to reconcile the idea of \u200b\u200bcause as a socially significant goal (such as human rights) and the value of the expressive, immediate pleasure of participating in its present , creating new forms of social ties, while therapeutic, while incidents in the surrounding reality.

Other styles are possible, other expressions of solidarity, other concerns, such as concerns about growing isolation and consequent apathy and lack of trust in any collective action that eventually ends up affecting the solidarity to the cause traditional) and above all other forms of address, less institutional, but more subjective.

Altruism and voluntary laws

In 1996, Andrés García Inda was a reflection on the Law 6 / 1996 Volunteer that might go unnoticed in most of the Third Sector due to the vortex of the Law, the force with which the novel is informed and that was the subject in the English State, but not bad resume "push the Administration to extend the legal mantle on unsettled areas not only for the purpose of promoting or ensuring the free participation, but also to control it " * and see what is in effect more than ever.

Now there is new addition to the 6 / 1996 there are regional and even provincial laws and a host of state and regional plans that mark since the government rate of voluntary participation in organizations volunteer, with varying degrees of success. Beyond

-interesting-debate on whether or not to regulate the voluntary, public participation or joint initiatives with a law should enter into the terms and contents of these laws, especially on two points: one hand

what is the contribution to the promotion of volunteerism? On the other

how they do it? (How 'weapons' or tools')

Focusing on the state law we can say yes, that includes measures to promote volunteerism, including an entire chapter in which he indicated that the state administration will technical assistance, develop training programs, lead intelligence services and outreach and volunteer recognition. Within

provides a particularly controversial measures that are incentives for volunteers in the form of "increases or reductions in the use of state public transportation, at the entrance to museums and other actions that can be established."

This measure perverts the basis of volunteerism, altruism. Goes directly to the motivations of the new volunteers and if someone has been sitting with a public administration and / or participated in the preparation of any of these Laws have heard comments from incentives associated with attracting new people to volunteering. In reality

have had little impact in terms of recruitment, but have had a lot in terms of trivializing the discourse of voluntary action and has led to 'awards', 'competitions' and 'campaigns' that are in the collective imagination of many people who have been encouraged to volunteer by example only, discounts on transport and in cinemas, free training, broadening curriculums, etc and not by what should be 'confidence in the human, social justice and the conviction power transformer group '

historical debate are issues but also with a dramatic effect and a media presence in' suspicious' in recent months (new regional laws ...). So it's never too late to reopen debates!

How does this affect altruism, the unselfishness, motivation?

Should the government question the persons or support and encourage volunteering from the volunteer organizations that are such, via voluntary plans, those who encourage, motivate and retain these people?

What messages should and should not throw to summon volunteers?

- 'You can be but you know you can not' vs. 'The volunteers are unique and special people'
- 'Your time counts, but your disposal more' vs' We need your commitment in a given period immovable time '


Someone else? Any contribution to the debate? See you here!

What is the role of ICT in empowering the citizenry? Volunteering

Empowerment is the thing most desirable in the world, desirable citizenship, for you and you, for us and we, for our friends, "for our enemies?, for the disadvantaged, impoverished, excluded for the disadvantaged", rich, including and excluding?

What's so desirable for some people and so feared in others? Empowerment has to do with what we are all people and all people are able ... decision, assessment, objection, regulation, opinion, ACTION ... We can

better or worse self- the administering, in other words, we better or worse empowered to decide, evaluate, oppose, regulated think and act freely and authentically.

What is best ? We do not know, we believe more solidarity, more open, more inclusive, more loving, more responsibly ... it's better, that is, these are some of the characteristics of a better quality of empowerment .

ICT have no role in the quality of the empowerment of citizens, but the amount and form. The quality of the empowerment of people depends on the clarity and depth of its ability to be aware of their own way of being conscious.

Neither people nor the citizenship or better discern worse through ICT. More people can access through ICTs, much information, no guarantee that it becomes much less knowledge or learning.

Worse, ICT does not guarantee that those who acquire and transform information into knowledge and learning are empowered with better quality, much less that they are just friends and disadvantaged people who serve this empowerment ...

As emphasized several times in this blog, ICT is only a development tool.

A poor tool, but not just any tool. Every tool we used to interfere in history has had some characteristics that are reflected in the forms taken citizen empowerment.

ICT is as perverse as the wheel.

There is nothing more perverse than round. We never know where to begin or where to end ... also has the tendency to turn, dares to be on the move looking does not change. It is the repetition of the same "Do you know of any time that reflect the influence of the wheel in citizen empowerment?

What are the specific perversions of ICTs?

Virtual Ubiquity spatiotemporal . Through ICTs, it is possible to emulate the promised global citizenship: We (power, that's the key, for better or worse, but always able to) not just be here and there, but while pregnant, and not just in one time, but we can be here, there, now, before and later, in many combinations of these variables as the imagination can or be able to conceive.

This feature of ICT makes possible, like wheel design allowed the tradition, another form of historical memory, which is essential for better empowerment of the citizenry. Thus, citizens who are empowered by using ICTs, historical memory does not repetitive, but always and everywhere present .

virtually People can sign a petition in favor of a requirement that an invisible government in space is far more appropriate adjective to the time of the printing press, whose record-word that refers to the subjective search for information rather than an official history, again, more suitable to the public in the form of print, I can refresh my memory (brain, ram, removable ...) through a search of data, to add my action to that of many others impact together in a probable future.

How ICT enables the empowerment of the citizenry is ubiquitous, and while that is not anywhere . This little perversion allows us, in words of Idelfonso Mayorgas "The right to be represented and participate actively in decisions that affect them. Actions ranging from the inside out, as opposed to the artificial and foreign policy implementation. Stop seeing people impersonally grouped by color or economic level but as empowered individual citizens. "

Another of the peculiarities of ICT is to be the electronic analogy of what was in primitive times the drum, the flame spreads in a cathartic reaction . Panic and the consequent rush of fear spread by burning company once it has sounded the alarm, the difference with the oral rumor is that through ICT, the news caused emotional empathy, while the oral rumor is the story of what happens only to other people.

citizenship that are empowered through ICT reaction to the announcements of danger and, in the same way, ready for action when you hear the clarion call of battle to defend the rights of flag ... as alluded to react personally as global citizens. Not everyone respond to PETA's call as not all and not all respond to the call of Greenpeace, it's up to the quality of discernment, but form of so-called through ICT delas has this quality of contagious spread.

Finally, the feature of ICT that brings a whole different shade of citizen empowerment is the deliverance from the power . As the brain, ICT is a flexible electrical network, open, changing, dynamic and energizing, continuously fed back and transformative relationship with the personal environment, socio-cultural, economic, political, environmental ...

So, citizen empowerment using ICT as a tool, paradoxically, has the form of an organic flow . Feature that makes this tool one in which the thought and action can be deployed in a more complex, multidimensional eco-systemic knowledge and methods that challenges pre-established, thought and action in a plural subject "REALITY AS LIBERATION" (The Thought complex, Edgar Morin .)

from our mobiles ... Could work as a volunteer s no free time?

Is lack of time, commitment and co-responsibility, which, today and according to the Volunteer Centre, we do have a 1.73% of total population as a percentage of people who voluntarily help an organization ...?

We could do the test ... Think ...

"Busy people do voluntary work hard" . say "The Extraordinary" (The Extraordinary) in presenting his proposal "On-Demand Volunteerism by Mobile Phone" (Volunteering demand in Mobile).

The problem, they say, is that most of us @ s @ s are always busy, working, going from one place to another, fulfilling the commitments arising from normal daily life. "Many people Rosenberg would have very little time but free "

Add to this the most voluntary activities require training, research and a commitment to" long and heavy. "To associate this with only 26% of Americans have made voluntary in 2007." Nearly half of non-volunteers s enlisted 'lack of time' as the main reason not to "

According Mobile and Public Administration, more than 100% is the average person ... In mobile Spain, there are more mobile than people. And if people do not have free time, then there are many more mobile than people's free time. Could mobile has a multiplier effect in the short time of individuals and, in turn, infect more people owning one or more mobile, making volunteers @ s?

The proposal is to send the extraordinary, through mobile phones, tasks suited to the skills of l @ s @ s mobile-volunteer whenever and wherever they are. "Mobiles today also function as a computer Notebook, "which infers that the extraordinary main barrier to volunteer will collapse by allowing volunteers l @ s @ s what made" on-the-spot "and" on-demand "in the act" "under demand. "

promise so that people will be voluntary during downtime, without being tied to a single organization, will collaborate with various organizations several times a week. Propose that, although most do not have time to devote to a cause, if we have "ad-hoc moments": the thousands of hours that millions of people spend playing solitaire ... waiting for the subway, in different service queues, waiting our dinner date, waiting, waiting, waiting ...

"During this time, many of us play with the mobile" . Volunteer mechanics of the extraordinary will be very similar to a game. "He will score, foster competition levels" While we play, we are helping NGOs and public purposes including the following tasks:

• Translation website of an NGO to a foreign language.
• Identification of craters on the surface of Mars with NASA's program "Clickworker."
