Network: The IVS movement include different network of workcamp organisations, which usually refer to geographical areas. Besides CCIVS (Coordinating Committee for International Voluntary Service), the movement includes ALLIANCE (Alliance of European Voluntary Service Organizations), EAVS (Eastern Africa Voluntary Service Development Network), ICYE (International Cultural Youth Exchange), NVDA (Network for Voluntary Development in Asia) and SCI (Service Civil International).
Non-formal education: The activities carried out by IVS organisations use the non-formal education method. This choice suit perfectly with the grassroots approach of the members and their projects: the NFE tools boost the learning dimension, involve actively volunteers and participants placing them at the forefront, strengthen social inclusion and encourage critical thinking.
