Do you know the power of a listening ear?
One year ago, on 18 October, we launched the 22nd IFOTES Congress "Winds of Hope– Acceptance and Capacity for Change"– an international event that brought together 1.000 volunteer listeners from helplines across Europe.
One year later, IFOTES has launched the *Friends of Listeners* crowdfunding campaign to extend the impact of that congress. Our goal is to make the valuable training content from the congress available to all 20.000 IFOTES volunteers, even those who couldn’t attend, ensuring that volunteers can continue to grow their skills and provide essential emotional support.

At the IFOTES Congress, volunteer listeners come together to enhance their skills and share experiences on how to adapt their listening to today’s changing world. These volunteers bring their passion and commitment to making our communities more compassionate and connected.
Your support helps us equip them with the tools they need to continue offering emotional support in a changing world.
