Grass root EVS ing is a European Voluntary Service programme aiming to promote active participation and volunteerism, along with the creation of good and meaningful collaborations among civil society organizations, public institutions, and individuals for the creation and implementation of common activities that benefit the community.
The project consists of 2 long-term EVS activities or both of which the sending organization is VOLUNTEERS CENTRE SKOPJE and the hosting organization is EHSB. Both activities will take place in Slavonski Brod, Croatia.
Activity A1 involves 2 volunteers for an EVS period of 6 months, from the 1.9.2017 till 28.2. 2018. a
Both volunteers will be between 18-30 years old and priority will be given to young people with fewer opportunities and people that demonstrate a clear interest and motivation to be involved in the activities of this specific project.
To accomplish its objectives and succeed in achieving the best possible learning outcomes for both volunteers, the daily schedules, and division of tasks is such as to, through a series of non-formal education methods and informal learning, give the opportunity to the young volunteers to develop skills and competencies at personal, social and professional levels.
The volunteers in both activities will work together with local volunteers in order to support and enrich the daily work of community structures and the activities they offer mainly for the youth and people of the local community.
Additionally, the volunteers will be having a weekly visit to the high schools and local NGO to organize cultural and creative workshops and lectures and lectures about Erasmus + programme and EVS and other youth opportunities
What we seek to achieve through this project is the development of skills and competencies of the volunteers, on the one hand, and on the other to give an intercultural dimension and a fresh prospect and ideas to community structures and activities. What is more, we aim at promoting volunteerism and active participation, not only among the young people of the community but also among the rest of the population, both during the project, as well as long after it.
