Volunteering with UNESCO RILA

Over the years, we have worked and continue to work with a number of volunteers, who have been instrumental in making our public engagement activities a succes. In this section you will find an overview of these wonderful people.

Volunteering can range from helping with tea and coffee at an event, to hosting a podcast episode. There are numerous tasks you could help out with and any volunteering commitment starts with a chat with Bella, to find out where your interests lie and how much time you have available. If you are interested in volunteering, whether regularly or for a one-off event, please contact Bella at unesco-rila@glasgow.ac.uk to discuss the options.
