It was noted that voluntary activity, helping others, contributing to the common cause is an indicator of the nobility of Azerbaijani youth. Also, volunteering contributes to the personal development of young people and an increased sense of social responsibility. Noting that the participation of volunteers in prestigious international events held in Azerbaijan gave impetus to the development of the volunteer movement in our country, Sahib Mammadov noted that the announcement of 2020 as the “Year of Volunteers” by the order signed by the head of state Mr. Ilham Aliyev is an example of the attention and care shown in this area.
It was emphasized that the volunteers who participated in COP29, including ATUC volunteers, coped with their duties well, drew attention with exemplary behavior, high culture and business acumen.
It was also noted at the meeting that the “ATUC Volunteers” program plays an important role in their gaining experience and socialization and will support them in their future careers.
Speaking at the event, the volunteers spoke about the quality of education at ATUC Academy of Labor and social relations and the work done for their comprehensive training. The volunteers spoke about their experience within the framework of the “ATUC Volunteers” program, the events they participated in, as well as volunteering activities in the direction of accommodation and provision of working conditions for foreign guests arriving at COP29. It was noted that volunteering in the trade union system creates conditions for learning the functions of this institution, the principle of work, the work done to protect labor rights, as well as the personal development of young people, the formation of the ability to work in a team.
Chairman of the Confederation Sahib Mammadov advised young people to grow up on the basis of the principles of azerbaijanism, statehood, in the spirit of respect for national, moral and universal values, to benefit from the opportunities created by our state for their comprehensive development, revealing their potential, increasing their role in socio-political life.
