A New Look for the Volunteers Blog

The EMS Ecumenical Youth Volunteer Programme blog now has a completely new look, sporting a modern design, a fresh logo and a new web address. The blog offers even more vivid insights into the diverse experiences of youth volunteers all over the world.

Thanks to its bilingual format (German and English), the blog is accessible to all participants – for North-South and South-North youth volunteers as well as for other members of the international EMS fellowship. The blog is not only technically impressive, it also looks good. The “mobile first” design ensures an optimised display on all devices. Multimedia features allow for a varied mix of text, images and videos. Not only that, it directly integrates the Instagram feed of the Youth Volunteer Programme. The blog is designed with barrier-free accessibility, offering people with disabilities unrestricted access to all information and features.

“With the new blog, we are presenting the programme with more international appeal, a modern feel and significantly greater connectivity. It showcases even better what makes our youth volunteer programme so special,” says Melanie Tews, Head of the Ecumenical Volunteers Programme and Youth Network Unit. 

The EMS Ecumenical Volunteers Programme offers young people the opportunity to get involved in social and church-based organisations worldwide.
