Thematic Communities
The European Thematic Communities are Volt’s hubs of expertise, passion and innovation. They’re open to anyone interested in a specific topic, from experienced experts to curious newcomers. By joining a Thematic Community, you help shape social initiatives, influence policy, and directly support your elected representatives. They’re also a good starting point for people who are passionate about creating positive change in our society.
Thematic Communities
