Registration is now open for the International Commissioners Forum that will be held from the 20-22 November 2009 at Mount St. Joseph, a centre located in an area called Targa Gap in Mosta (near Rabat and Mdina) Malta. 

Following many months of lobbying, we are advised that the proposal to have 2011 designated the European Year of Volunteering has been accepted by the President of the European Commission. This in itself is a recognition of the fundamentally important role played by volunteers in society, through the civil society groupings of which WOSM is a part.
Congratulations to all those NSOs who actively participated in the campaign by contacting their MEPs
