Abstract(s)
A investigação das diferentes perspetivas sobre o que poderá ser o voluntariado internacional
em programas de intercâmbio sem fins lucrativos continua a ser escassa. Esta investigação
examina as experiências de várias pessoas voluntárias e várias famílias anfitriãs que estão
inscritas nas seguintes plataformas: Workaway, Worldpackers, Helpx e WWOOF.
Os resultados mostram que este tema se tornou uma tendência nos últimos anos e que
compreender as motivações das pessoas que fazem parte destas plataformas, bem como os
benefícios e impactos dos projetos é essencial para melhor se compreender o
desenvolvimento do voluntariado internacional. Para além disso, foi fundamental fazer uma
reflexão sobre o conceito de voluntariado nestes contextos específicos. Esta investigação
contribui para uma maior compreensão das relações e das tensões entre pessoas voluntárias
e famílias anfitriãs no decorrer dos programas destas plataformas.
The research into the different perspectives on what international volunteering in non-profit exchange programs might be like is still scarce. This investigation examines the experiences of several volunteers and host families who are registered on the following platforms: Workaway, Worldpackers, Helpx and WWOOF. The results show that this topic has become a trend in recent years and that understanding the motivations of the people who are part of these platforms, as well as the benefits and impacts of projects, is essential in order to better understand the development of international volunteering. In addition, it was essential to reflect on the concept of volunteering in these specific contexts. This research contributes to a greater understanding of the relationships and tensions between volunteers and host families during these platforms' programs.
