In the face of overlapping crises—from war to climate change—European societies are witnessing shifting patterns of civic engagement, with volunteering emerging as a key yet uneven form of solidarity. The seminar explores the variability of volunteering through new comparative data from the Czech Republic and Italy. By addressing questions of who volunteers, where and how, the seminar contributes to a renewed research agenda on volunteering in turbulent times.
