Volunteering

In a discussion on Jess Hunt's blog Peter made a comment about communities (which I think we are covering in the next module section) - this was part of my comment:

"...BUT I find the idea about 'volunteering' an interesting one from Peter's comment. The idea of a volunteer and Web 2.0 - this matches to the idea of time - giving time , taking time, delivering time, being an 'active citizenship' as they say in lifelong learning. Interesting, are we expected to volunteer in our society - how and why?"

So how does the professional's volunteer time mesh with other work?  - it could be building practice... the idea of active citizenship, social capitol and lifelong learning are explained on the Infed website .
