The European Voluntary Service projects give youths an opportunity to establish cooperation and friendship with persons form different places and contribute actively to the development of a community different from their own as well as promote equality of opportunity. They offer a possibility for youths between 18 and 30 years of age to carry out a voluntary activity during 6 to 12 months in another country, not only EU members, as an experience of non formal education and intercultural learning.
The volunteer dedicates their time and energy to work on a local project collaborating with a non profit organisation within many different fields: environmental, art and culture, activities for children, youths and the elderly, sport promotion, etc.
I exchange, the volunteer receives accommodation, travel costs refund, language course, medical insurance, maintenance and pocket money for their expenses. All these while s/he develops different aptitudes, acquires professional and personal skills (facing a different environment, customs and culture, learning a new language and different ways of work) and builds his own future.
