CALL FOR LONG TERM EVS from EU
FROM 10.03.2016 - 3 PLACES 10 MONTHS - FRANCE, ITALY, SPAIN
About the project:
Project European information Pont was developed to promote voluntary work in Leszno area, to activate local people and promote multiculturalism. The main objective of this project is personal and professional development of volunteers, dialogue and understanding among youth from different countries, international exchange of experiences, stimulating and encouraging to
the social activism in the local community. Long term voluntary service will be a great opportunity to go deeper into the activities
of various institutions and organizations, to learn about their specific priorities and working methods. Through participation in various meetings and activities volunteers will be prepared to initiate and implement their own workshops. Equal workload between work in different schools and in the foundation will allow them to develop the working methods and exchange of international experiences. All volunteer activities will be conducted under the supervision of coordinators and mentors. Youth from the whole region will take some advantages from the project, moreover once a week there will be a possibility to invite volunteers to a local school/ institution. As Leszno area is very monocultural, inhabitants are not so much keen to learn languages its very important to help people understand importance of being tolerant, be open for differences.
