The 15 Asian Games, which lasted for 15 days, is drawing to a close. In Doha, Qatar, athletes, coaches, referees, officials and representatives of international sports organizations from various Asian countries and regions spoke highly of the achievements of this Asian Games. It goes without saying that behind this success, there are countless years of efforts, including the selfless dedication of a temporary special group. This group is a large number of volunteers from all walks of life in various countries and regions. They are everywhere during the Asian Games. It can be said that their warm service and great help have fundamentally ensured the normal operation of the entire Asian Games, which is one of the indispensable and important factors for the success of the Asian Games.
The Doha Organizing Committee began to recruit volunteers three years ago. Originally planned to collect 16000 volunteers. As a result, more than 30,000 people signed up enthusiastically, including about 25,000 people from 25 countries who submitted their applications through the Internet. Finally, the organizing committee interviewed 19000 people and actually recruited more than 23700 people. It is said that the organizing Committee interviewed more than 600 people every week at the speed of 100 meters sprint in the final stage!
The organizing committee clearly stated in the recruitment plan that all volunteers participating in the Asian Games service will receive: a volunteer service commemorative certificate; Professional training for discount cards in different service areas; A set of conference uniforms; Free snacks/drinks during work; International exchange experience; Permanent memory of participating in Asian sports events; Opportunities to visit the Asian Games Village; Tickets for rehearsal of the opening ceremony; After the closing of the Asian Games, the names of all volunteers were engraved on the volunteer monument in Doha Sports City.
Under the call of the organizing committee, all volunteers are enthusiastic to contribute to the Asian Games. As Arula Naik (an Indian volunteer) said on behalf of all the volunteers at the opening ceremony of Doha Asian Games Village on June 5438+065438+1October 55438+05, 2006, "This is a rare life experience. Everyone works together and meets people from different countries and regions ... This kind of work is exciting. "
According to the mid-term statistics of the Asian Games organized by the Organizing Committee, 5,648 volunteers came from Qatar, and the rest came from Egypt (2,865), India (5,537), Jordan (1.008), Nepal (789), Pakistan (1.085) and Pakistan. With the advancement of the Asian Games, the number of volunteers is constantly changing.
In the news service department of the main news center where journalists work, there are a group of volunteers from different countries and regions who work in three shifts every day (07:00- 15:00, 15:00-23:00, 23:00-07:00). Among them, Ali Nadeem from Sudan is a civil architect. He starts work at 6 o'clock every morning and volunteers for 7 hours after work. Hana Frangi, a Palestinian mother of five. The youngest daughter is only 4 years old this year, and the oldest is 16 years old. In the morning, she is busy sending her children to school and doing housework, and goes to work from 3 pm to 1 1. For her, volunteering has greatly changed her daily life. Afse Shahin Youssef from Pakistan is an experienced old volunteer. He participated in the Third West Asian Games held in Doha from June 5 to February 2005. He very much hopes to be a "top-level" volunteer for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, and has begun to pay attention to when BOCOG will start recruiting international volunteers through the Internet.
There are also eight female volunteers from the Philippines in the news work area of the main news center, all of whom are housewives. They also work seven hours a day according to the arrangement of the organizing Committee, mainly taking care of 40 computers that provide instant information of the conference in the work area and helping to solve problems at any time. However, they said that the work here is not tiring, because these computers containing the conference information database seem to know that they have great responsibilities and have been running well since they opened.
In addition, a large number of volunteers are active in athletes' villages and Asian Games venues. Some of them are staff members of the National Olympic Committee, such as Esulu Anabekoya of the Kazakh Olympic Committee, Noko Tann Nuyan, assistant of the Vietnamese Olympic Committee, and Abad Saheb, member of the Volunteer Committee of the United Arab Emirates Olympic Committee. Anna Bekkoja came to Doha as a volunteer with a clear purpose-to accumulate experience for hosting the Asian Winter Games in 20 1 1 Kazakhstan. She thinks the preparations for the Doha Asian Games are well done. Anna Becca likes playing tennis at ordinary times and works as a part-time English teacher in her spare time. At present, she is a senior in the Department of International Relations and Law. Noko Tarn Nuyeen came to Doha for volunteer training three times. She said that she especially likes the Asian Games Village and is very happy to participate in such a major sports event in person. She likes sports. I am the national swimming champion in Vietnam. Abad Saheb is a physical education teacher in Dubai. He said, "The work of serving the society attracts me. I am here to make every effort to make the athletes feel comfortable, just like at home. "
Jodanian Suliman Tabit, a 33-year-old Qatari, is a data entry clerk. Through this experience of serving the Asian Games, he hopes to have the opportunity to become a volunteer. "Just for this," he said, "I hope Qatar can hold more large-scale events in the future!" Ibrahim Radwan, a compatriot of Tabit, is a chemical engineer of Qatar Petroleum Company and a volunteer of the Asian Games Village Accommodation and Reception Center. He said that he took part in this competition because he wanted to "get close to the Asian Games from the inside, work in different environments and make new friends."
Luke Raj Devcota is a bank employee from Nepal and a volunteer of the Asian Games Village newspaper Quicksand. He proudly said, "I am very happy to get in touch with athletes from all over the world and interview them with my works." His friend Nair Baha Balami, who is also a Nepalese, is in charge of seeing him off in the logistics department of the Asian Games Village. The reason why this volleyball fan and football fan like this job is simple: "You can see all the players."
Sid Ali is a Pakistani and an avid karate enthusiast. Before the opening of the Asian Games, he was assigned to work in the Gift Package Distribution Center of the Asian Games Village. When the reporter asked him which sport he liked best, he replied without hesitation: karate. He said that he has three daughters, all of whom are masters of black belts in karate, and he himself has only reached the level of tea belts. In his words, "We are a standard karate family!" Although he worked in the Asian Games Village for a short time, he was very excited when he talked about the opportunity to make friends with people from different places.
Based on the experience of large-scale international sports events in previous years, especially comprehensive sports events, carefully organizing and managing volunteers has become the knowledge of organizers of previous events. Now, 65438+February 5th every year is designated as "International Volunteer Day", which happens to be the 5th day of the opening of the Doha Asian Games. People all over the world who are interested in volunteering will serve the international sports cause through their own festivals, carry forward the Olympic spirit, and serve world peace, friendship and development with greater enthusiasm.
Second, all people will become volunteers.
19 10 19, the recruitment of volunteers from outside Beijing for the Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Games started in Beijing. As a volunteer representative who just returned from the Doha Asian Games, Guo Zaiyi from Beijing Foreign Studies University shared his volunteer service experience in Doha.
Of the more than 65,438+6,000 volunteers for the Doha Asian Games, 50 are from overseas, including 12 from China. The 12 China volunteers were selected from Tsinghua University and the staff of the Second Foreign Languages Institute and the Communist Youth League Committee. They mainly undertake language services and VIP reception in Doha.
"This is the largest international competition that China volunteers participated in before the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Almost all of these 12 volunteers signed up for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. " Wu Qi, director of the International Department of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Communist Youth League, who led the team, said that because of this, it became an important training for volunteers in China before 2008, and volunteers also got a lot of inspiration from the actual combat of 10.
Respect volunteers and let them have a recognized sense of happiness.
At the Doha Asian Games, the Asian Organizing Committee hired professionals who had participated in many Olympic Games to form a middle-level backbone team in the Asian Games organization. "Strict organization, meticulous management, respect for volunteers and humanized management are the keys to the success of volunteer work in Doha Asian Games." Chi WU commented like this.
Take Zhang Dandan Language Group of Beijing Foreign Studies University as an example. A general manager has two big supervisors, and the big supervisors have two or three small supervisors, who are directly responsible for managing volunteers. What language service volunteers do every day is recorded, which is collected by the small supervisor and fed back upwards. The supervisor will also shuttle between the venues every day to check the work of volunteers and ask for opinions and suggestions.
"This tree-like management structure makes the organization of volunteers very meticulous and the responsibility is implemented to people. Once there is a problem in a certain link, it can be solved in time and effectively. " Zhang Dandan said.
Liang, a volunteer from Tsinghua University, said that during the 10 day in Doha, the biggest feeling was that the volunteers were respected. Liang is a volunteer at the China Open and the Beijing International Marathon.
"Organizers have taken volunteers into account in many details," Liang said. Volunteers' uniforms and certificates are the same as those of formally employed employees. Each volunteer can get four sets of uniforms, and the volunteers in charge of VIP reception also have suits, ties, shirts and socks. When designing uniforms, the customs and habits of all ethnic groups are also fully considered. For example, female volunteers can choose whether their uniforms are pants or skirts, baseball caps or headscarves.
When checking in every morning, volunteers can get some small souvenirs, such as badges, bracelets, tickets for that night, etc. Every day after work, I will be given a few sweets; Volunteers can also enjoy all kinds of drinks provided for athletes for free; Although public transportation in Doha is a problem, buses and taxis specially prepared for the Asian Games and taxi tickets prepared for volunteers every day are enough to show the organizers' care. On February 5, 65438, International Volunteer Day, the organizer also prepared a big cake for the volunteers in each venue ... Every detail made the volunteers feel the sincerity of the organizer.
"They use professional management to reflect the service level and treat volunteers with' heart'. As a volunteer, I have a sense of happiness that is cared for and recognized, which inspires me to work hard. " Liang Su would say.
Willing to do small things, you can't say no to any problem.
During her stay in Doha, Jaco, a volunteer, was working at the reception desk of a hotel when she found a Korean journalist anxiously talking to the other party in Korean. Jaco understood one of the words, because it happened to be where he was going to work the next day, so Jaco copied a road map for him. The Korean journalist embraced Jaco excitedly.
Jaco told reporters that he thought he was proficient in English, but when he arrived in Doha two days ago, he could not communicate with others. After several days of hard work, I gradually understood the English spoken by the local people.
Like Jaco, many volunteers mentioned language problems. "This reminds me of the Beijing Olympic Games. The Olympic Games is an international competition. How to fully tap the resources of domestic foreign language talents and overseas volunteers to better serve the Beijing Olympic Games will be a huge challenge. " Tsinghua University volunteer Qian said.
After returning from Doha, the volunteers found that it is not enough to be an enthusiastic and skilled volunteer, but also to be able to solve various practical problems independently.
When Qian was in Doha, he was mainly responsible for the VIP reception in the weightlifting competition venues. From the entrance of the stadium to the concierge seat, the distance of more than 50 meters is divided into three sections, and each volunteer only needs to accompany a short section.
"This job seems simple, but it can't be treated with a simple mind." Qian said that once, he guided a VIP to watch a weightlifting competition, but asked him how the tennis match was yesterday. At this time, Qian remembered a sentence in the Doha Volunteer Training Manual: "As a volunteer, you can't say' no' to any question, but try to find the answer." Although Qian didn't know the results of the game, he found that there was an information desk that could check all the results of the game. He immediately printed out the detailed results of the competition and provided them to the distinguished guests.
Almost all 12 volunteers signed up for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. For other applicants, their advice is that they are willing to do small things, be willing to contribute, and interpret the spirit of volunteer service with a professional attitude.
Learn to smile and make Beijing smile in every corner.
"In Doha, whether it is the staff of various departments or the security guards at the door, every strange face has a friendly smile, which makes volunteers have a happy mood to work." Liang Su would say.
Wu Qi told reporters that the volunteer organization work in Doha has only been three years. How to make the concept of voluntary service deeply rooted in the hearts of the whole society in such a short time is worth learning.
In Doha, many public places and local people's private cars have such slogans: "We are all Qatar." This seemingly simple sentence has greatly inspired the patriotic enthusiasm and participation consciousness of the Qatari people: you don't have to take off your white robe and put on your uniform, you don't have to quit your job and come to the stadium, but you can still add luster to the city with your smile and enthusiasm.
Volunteer Zhao said that this practice in Doha is worth learning from Beijing. In the eyes of many foreigners who have just arrived in Beijing, the traffic routes in Beijing are so complicated and unfamiliar. Therefore, it is necessary to publicize the awareness of national volunteers and mobilize more citizens to form a potential volunteer team.
Wen Jiao, a volunteer, said, "China people are not used to expressing their feelings. Usually, when we walk on the streets of Beijing, we certainly don't say to a foreigner,' Hello, welcome to Beijing!' Now, we often say that the smile of volunteers is the best business card in Beijing. I think the smile of Beijing should come from every corner of the city. "
"There is no doubt that the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games will be an all-round test of China's volunteer service spirit. For China, the Olympic Games has not only won gold medals and Olympic infrastructure, but also the popularity of intangible volunteer service awareness. " Qian said: "Including overseas volunteers, there will be 654.38 million volunteers in the Beijing Olympic Games. But 65438+ ten thousand is a limited number after all. If everyone has a sense of volunteer service, the power will be endless. "
Third, the successful experience and thinking brought by large-scale sports games.
Enlightenment 1 "international wisdom" is undoubtedly the way to success.
Think tanks show great power
In the absence of human resources and experience, Qatar hired world-class professionals to serve it with abundant funds and successfully held an Asian Games. Using "international wisdom" for me is undoubtedly the success of the Doha Asian Games.
From the founders of the opening and closing ceremonies to the service staff in the athletes' village restaurant, from the media manager of the news center to the stadium security, the staff of the Doha Asian Games come from all corners of the world.
Al Naggar is the general manager of the Operation Command Center of the Doha Asian Games Organizing Committee, which is the highest decision-making level of the Organizing Committee during the Games. He said: "Many people here have worked in the Sydney and Athens Olympic Games. They know where the problem may appear and how to solve it after encountering it. They have provided us with many valuable suggestions. "
Many athletes and journalists who come to Doha feel that "humanized" service is a highlight of the organization of this Asian Games. "This is due to a colleague of our game service department who participated in previous Asian Games and passed on some experiences and lessons to Doha." Nagar's assistant, Australian Jenny Tiger, said.
As the chairman of the Sports Committee of the Olympic Council of Asia, Wei Jizhong witnessed the whole preparation process of the Doha Asian Games. He believes that it is precisely because of the experienced "multinational force" that Doha has taken a lot of detours and improved efficiency.
Achmed Abdullah, Deputy Director-General of the Doha Asian Organizing Committee, said that although the organizing committee employs a large number of foreigners, the top leaders of all departments are Qataris, and the decision-making power on major issues is in their hands. He said: "They are only responsible for providing professional technical advice, while we are responsible for decision-making."
"People who make suggestions don't pay, but only from the perspective of how to run the Asian Games well. People who manage money hold the attitude of' as long as your suggestions are good, I will pay'." Wei Jizhong said that this organizational structure of separating management from operation has made all aspects of the Doha Asian Games reach the highest standards. "Of course, this should also be based on strong economic strength."
The "takenism" of Doha Asian Games is not only reflected in the composition of its organizing team, but also in the specific preparations. Ahmed said that Doha has established the concept of "opening the Asian Games" from the very beginning, and all aspects of the organization are open to international bidding, so that every aspect is the best choice.
All previous large-scale comprehensive sports games have a set of information system, which provides the media and members of the Olympic family with information such as competition schedule, competition information, athletes' profiles, review and preview of events, press conference reports, news announcements, press releases and so on. The information system of this Asian Games has been widely praised by the media for its comprehensiveness and timeliness. Ajab, a journalist from India, said that the information system of this Asian Games is not inferior to the Athens Olympic Games in terms of timeliness and richness.
Ahmed said that this is not surprising, because the information systems of the Athens Olympic Games and the Doha Asian Games are operated by Infostrada, a world-renowned sports information service provider. In addition, the opening and closing ceremonies of the Doha Asian Games, the image and landscape project, and even the cleaning of the main news center are all contracted to professional companies in various related fields through bidding.
Some people say that Doha has created a new model of "I spend money and you do things". Wei Jizhong said that this model is not applicable to all countries and regions. After all, the "national conditions" are different, but he said that Doha's open attitude is worth learning from the host city of the future Olympic Games and Asian Games.
Revelation 2 The Doha Asian Games provides a case of "details determine success or failure"
Every detail is important.
As many staff members of the Organizing Committee of Doha Asian Games have experience in organizing large-scale competitions, the "software" service of this Asian Games is quite standard, which is reflected in many details and really reflects their carefulness. "
An old photojournalist who has interviewed many Olympic Games and Asian Games praised the venue. He said that the lighting conditions of some large-scale events in the past were different. Every time he changes a venue, he has to adjust the camera's aperture, color temperature and other technical parameters. The color temperature and light of all venues in Doha are in the best state, allowing people to take the best photos. "This detail really shows that the organizer is very professional."
However, gold alone is not enough, and no one is perfect. There are still some omissions in the details of the Doha Asian Games, which are destined to become permanent regrets.
On the opening day of the Asian Games in February 1 Sunday, several shuttle buses carrying journalists to the opening ceremony site-Khalifa Stadium were delayed because the drivers got lost. Rogge, a driver from the Philippines, told reporters that due to the shortage of local human resources in Qatar, most of the 6,000 drivers who started the shuttle bus for the Asian Games were recruited from abroad. Before taking up their posts, everyone received a month-long related training, but there are more than 40 bus lines for the Asian Games, and everyone is only familiar with their own bus lines. On the day of the opening ceremony, they were temporarily transferred from the main news center to the Khalifa Stadium, so it was "nothing strange" to get lost.
Before the opening of the Asian Games, a reporter asked the organizing committee what to do if it rains on the opening day. The organizing committee thought it was "unlikely". However, it did not succeed. Doha, which only rains eight times a year on average, suddenly rained heavily in 1, which seriously affected the integrity of the opening ceremony and forced many aerial performances to be cancelled. What's more, Doha was too confident about its traffic and didn't take traffic control measures, which led many VIPs to wait for the bus to return to the hotel after the opening ceremony.
"This shows that the organizing committee lacks contingency plans." Wei Jizhong, Chairman of the Sports Committee of the Olympic Council of Asia, said. He thinks these should be considered as no small work mistakes.
Wei Jizhong suggested that it would be a good thing for the organizers of future sports meetings if someone could sort out the crisis cases in previous sports meetings. "If you take precautions against the mistakes made by others, there will basically be no problem."
Defects in details often directly affect people's evaluation and judgment of the whole thing, and sometimes even make countless efforts go to waste. The Doha Asian Games provided a good case of "details determine success or failure" and provided a reference for the Beijing Olympic Games.
Revelation 3 Respect and careful consideration are the guarantee of volunteer work.
Everyone is a volunteer.
Through personal experience and interviews, the reporter learned that there are many commendable places in the volunteer work of this Asian Games, which are worth learning from.
Mr Khalid, the volunteer project manager of the Human Resources Department of the Doha Asian Games Organizing Committee, said that when he took over the volunteer project three years ago, he was very worried about the recruitment of volunteers. However, after three years of preparation, the concept of volunteers was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and finally more than 6000 volunteers were admitted to/kloc-0.
As volunteers sent by Beijing Communist Youth League Committee, Wu Qi, director of the International Liaison Department of Beijing Communist Youth League Committee, Wen Jiao, a student of Arabic Department in beijing international studies university, and so on 10 college students personally participated in the volunteer service of Doha Asian Games 10 for more than a few days and got a lot of inspiration.
First of all, management is humanized. Volunteers have two classes in the morning and afternoon to choose from every day. Considering the hard work and intensity of volunteers, the organizing Committee also arranged for volunteers to take turns during the service period.
Wen Jiao believes that during the Beijing Olympic Games, college students have a holiday in August, and there is no time conflict. But for a large number of social volunteers who can play an important role, whether they are flexible in time is the key to whether they are willing to participate in volunteers.
Secondly, respect and motivate volunteers. Liang, a student volunteer from Tsinghua University, said that during his ten days in Doha, the biggest feeling was that volunteers were respected. "When we are waiting for a taxi by the roadside in volunteer clothes, local people often stop to pick us up and thank our country. This makes us very moved. "
65438+February 5th is the International Volunteer Day. Almost all venues of the Asian Games held small-scale celebrations for volunteers to express their condolences to the volunteers and thank them for sending cakes. When Beijing university student volunteers were about to return home after their last day's work, the staff of the Volunteer Center of the Asian Games Organizing Committee met them again, thanked them and arranged an interview with Al Jazeera.
The service work that volunteers do every day is trivial and sometimes even boring. In volunteer management, the Doha Organizing Committee often takes incentive measures. For example, when a volunteer reports for duty every day, he will be given a badge, bracelet and even a mascot. Although these little things are worthless, they make volunteers feel warm and caring in the complicated work. In addition, the positions of volunteers are different every day, which avoids the feeling of volunteers repeating their work.
Third, strict organization and meticulous management. The Asian Games Organizing Committee hired people from various countries who have participated in many Olympic Games, and formed a middle-level backbone team to organize the Asian Games. Under the leadership of many people with Olympic experience, the organization and development of the Asian Games are proceeding in an orderly way.
In addition, the Organizing Committee of the Doha Asian Games also mobilized potential volunteers-Doha residents. In Doha, you can often see Arabic written on the windows of local private cars: "We are all Qatar." Such a seemingly simple sentence has greatly inspired the patriotic enthusiasm and participation consciousness of the Qatari people. Zhao, a student at Beijing Foreign Studies University, said that this practice in Doha is worth learning from Beijing. In the eyes of many foreigners who have just arrived in Beijing, the traffic route in Beijing is so empty and strange. Therefore, it is necessary to vigorously and deeply publicize the awareness of national participation and service, and form potential volunteer "assault soldiers".
Regarding the volunteer work for the Beijing Olympic Games, Wu Qi, director of the International Liaison Department of the Beijing Youth League Committee, believes that the respect and consideration of volunteers by the Doha Asian Games Organizing Committee is the guarantee for the smooth development of volunteer work. These ideas and practices are worthy of serious study and reference for Beijing Olympic Games.
V. Scientific mechanism for managing volunteers
Volunteers are the largest group in the Olympic Games, and their number even exceeds the sum of athletes, coaches, journalists and officials. The experience of previous Olympic Games shows that without a high-quality volunteer team, the Olympic Games cannot be carried out in an orderly manner. Successful organizations, the best staff and the best volunteers have been praised as "three magic weapons" for the success of the Olympic Games by nikos costas, the news director of the Athens Olympic Organizing Committee.
Establish a scientific volunteer management mechanism
Executive Vice President Li told reporters that the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games needs more than100000 core volunteers. Take various forms to enhance volunteers' abilities of self-management, self-education and self-service, enhance their sense of service and responsibility, and provide high-quality volunteer services for the Games.
Previously, BOCOG and the Olympic Volunteers Coordination Working Group established a unified management system and operation mechanism for Olympic volunteers, relying fully on universities, enterprises and institutions, and at the same time relying fully on the power of the government to complete the daily management of volunteers, so as to win wide participation and support from all walks of life.
"The management mode of volunteers will be consistent with the operation mechanism of the Olympic Games. During the Olympic Games, volunteers will work around the events in various venues. " Li said to him.
Volunteering can also be controversial.
Since graduation in 2000, Ai Feng has served as a volunteer of different types for many times. Many people ask him: Why do you like volunteering so much? Ai Feng replied: "In these three years of volunteer service, I have never felt needed, respected and happy."
Through voluntary activities, many volunteers have realized their self-worth, but at the same time they are facing some practical problems.
The activity prompted by moral sense does not mean that there will be no disputes. Because volunteers provide free labor, no matter with the service object or with the voluntary service organization, they cannot form labor relations in the labor law. If the rights and interests of volunteers or others are violated in voluntary activities, it will be very difficult to deal with them.
According to the statistics of Beijing Volunteers Association, the social support of volunteers still needs to be improved, and 9% of volunteers have been discriminated against to varying degrees in their volunteer activities. In addition to treating volunteers as cheap labor, in some volunteer service fields, the personal safety of volunteers can not be guaranteed.
There will be laws to protect rights.
BOCOG revealed that during the Olympic Games, in addition to 654.38 million volunteers, 300,000 city volunteers will provide volunteer services in key areas around the venues and in tourism, business and other positions. In addition, there will be more than one million social volunteers to carry out daily volunteer service in communities and villages in combination with the work of building harmonious communities, harmonious villages and towns and building a safe Beijing city.
How to provide standardized management and effective guarantee for such a huge volunteer team is a realistic problem that must be faced.
The reporter found that just three days before the recruitment ceremony, 65438+ 10/6, "Regulations on the Promotion of Voluntary Service in Beijing (Draft for Review)" began to solicit opinions on the website of the Legislative Affairs Office of the Beijing Municipal Government. The main contents include the definition and field of volunteer service, the construction of urban organization management service system, the rights and obligations of volunteer service stakeholders, the guidance and standardization of volunteer service activities, and various promotion and guarantee measures. This seems to convey a signal that volunteers for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games will receive special legal protection.
In the Regulations on the Promotion of Volunteer Service in Beijing (Draft for Review), the reporter vaguely found the solutions to some problems existing in the current volunteer service.
The regulations clarify the definition and fields of voluntary service, the construction of urban organization and management service system, the rights and obligations of voluntary service stakeholders, the guidance and norms of voluntary service activities, and various promotion and guarantee measures. At the same time, it is stipulated that when recruiting volunteers, organizations engaged in volunteer service activities should publish the complete information of volunteer service projects, and make necessary information and explanations on possible risks and dangers in the process of volunteer service. According to the regulations, Beijing will also set up a voluntary service foundation to raise funds for the society and provide financial guarantee for the development of voluntary service within its administrative region. Voluntary service funds should be used for voluntary service, and their collection, use and management should be subject to supervision and audit by the society and relevant departments.
In addition, the regulations stipulate that before sending volunteers, voluntary service organizations should apply for corresponding insurance for physical injuries that volunteers may suffer as needed; State organs, enterprises, institutions, schools and other organizations can give priority to those who have outstanding performance in volunteer service activities under the same conditions when recruiting civil servants, recruiters and students; No organization or individual may force others to engage in voluntary service activities. No organization or individual may engage in profit-making activities in the name of voluntary service. Volunteers shall not ask for or ask for remuneration in disguised form from organizations or individuals that accept voluntary services.
It is reported that this consultation ended on June 65438+1October 3 1, which is the first time that Beijing has standardized voluntary service in the form of government regulations. Previously, eight provinces and eight cities, including Shandong, Guangzhou, Nanjing and Hangzhou, had formulated relevant regulations on volunteer service.
The successful hosting of the 11th Asian Games in Beijing from 65438 to 0990 has accumulated some relevant experience for the management of volunteers in Beijing. The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games undoubtedly provided an opportunity for the promulgation of the Regulations on the Promotion of Voluntary Service in Beijing.
According to reports, the draft charity promotion law being drafted in China will include a separate chapter on voluntary service, which will include the principles of voluntary service, the registration system of volunteers, the conditions of volunteer registration, the rights and obligations of registered volunteers, the rights and obligations of volunteer registration organizations, and the recording and incentive mechanism of voluntary service.
