Does volunteering become stronger through legal regulation, or can excessive regulation create barriers that limit participation? Finding the right balance within the volunteering ecosystem is critical—not only to protect civic space but also to build sustainable and effective structures.

The Third Sector Foundation of Türkiye (TÜSEV) is a key reference point in the country for strengthening civil society and contributing to policy development. Güneş Engin, Deputy Secretary General of TÜSEV, will examine the social, economic, and democratic value of volunteering within the context of legislative developments in Türkiye and international approaches.

The webinar will explore the balance between the need for regulation and the risks of overregulation, its impact on volunteer participation, and comparative framework models from different countries. Concrete policy recommendations that aim to protect, promote, and sustain volunteering in Türkiye will also be shared.

This event offers a strategic perspective for civil society organisations, policymakers, and all stakeholders working in the field of volunteering. Reserve your place now.
The event will be held as an online webinar within the framework of the 2026 International Year of Volunteers. It is open to everyone and is completely free, including a certificate of participation.
