Roll out ICT and App toolkit; WORKPLAN
CRT and VNF need to implement this output. An outline is made for them with education material.
Volunteers can support your organization in different ways. This workplan is an idea of how this
could be done. Of course it needs to be tailor made and therefore it needs adjustments.
Before being able to roll out this toolkit we developed Volunteer material under 3.2.1. education
program.
With help of CRT we developed:
- volunteers policy
- volunteers handbook
- volunteers training material for one day (the added presentation)
- examples of folders (with help of all partners) and draft presentations and promotion material for
volunteers
3.3.1. 3-5 volunteers receive training and trainers license per partner region
Introduction:
Before volunteers are able to become a volunteer and receive a license they need to have a boating
license. Besides that, they need to attend the volunteers training. This is a one day training.
We have had a volunteers training day 10th of October in Utrecht focusing on volunteers who will do
presentations around the country. Actions:
- Presentation that day included as: volunteers trainingday.ppt
- presentation of the volunteers handbook
- volunteers receiving promotion material (folders and promotion material in several languages and
the Numericanal leaflet). Presentations will be available on the website of www.Numericanal.eu and
www.varendoejesamen.nl
3.3.2. open days per partner region with some 40 people participating each session.
- the open days were during the HISWA Boat show. Boaters received all information on the stand
- leaflets, booklets (Numericanal information)
- where to find website and apps
- promotion material
3.3.3. 6 volunteers 1 day training sessions per partner region between…
Also new volunteers were invited on the HISWA boat show in Amsterdam to visit the stand and
getting introduced. 23 Volunteers were trained on the HISWA boat show. These volunteers were on
the stand giving answers to the questions of the boaters and skippers (national and international)
visiting the stand. Knowledge of the regulations is required. Also knowledge of the publisher
material and the Numericanal outputs. The visitors were excited about the new international
material. This is now repeated twice a year on the annual boat shows.
3.3.4. 10-20 people trained per training session (e.g. 60-120 in total per partner region)
On the HISWA boat show in September 2014 a clinic was given by volunteers by taking boaters on
the IJ lake of Amsterdam. Which is a very busy area with a lot of commercial boats (barges, sea
ships, ferries and pleasure boats). A perfect place to show boaters the risks of the blind spot of
commercial boats and the speed in which they are moving. People needed to register for this at the
stand so the volunteers could provide them with all communication material. About 170 people
signed up in 2014.
Around the country clinics are also given on control/traffic posts of bridges and locks. During the
steering group meeting in September 2014 in Amsterdam. The partners also taken on this clinic to
the Orange Locks in Amsterdam to see how this is done by us. They could experience how barges
and pleasure boats are lead into separate locks for safety.
Clinics on commercial barges are done so people can experience the blind-spot of a skipper on a
commercial barge.
Also the clinic ‘the blue wave’ (26th of June 2014) was attended by CRT. Because it was about ICT
solutions. By using an app a boater could go along the waterway in a group and pass all bridges and
locks without having to wait. 46 people attended on several boats.
3.3.5. evaluation sheets and selected interviews
Every year we have a evaluation sheet on the website. This questionnaire can be filled out by our
target group of boaters and skippers. The conclusions are…
