European Association “World-Our Home” is a body active at the European level in the youth field and NGO that works with international and European projects in youth, social, cultural and educational fields from 1999. The main aim of the organization is to promote European citizenship, solidarity, multiculturalism and non-formal education. The main target groups are youth, especially potential volunteers and potential partner organizations in European Solidarity Corps programme. The organization is busy with European youth exchange projects, seminars, trainings, international cultural projects. The organization actively participates in Erasmus +, Europe for Citizens programmes. “World-Our Home” is a hosting, sending and coordinating organization already for 20 years which helps to search for and realize projects for young people who want to be volunteers through ESC programme. The organization also gives people the opportunity to learn foreign languages and get acquainted with different cultures in order to get European awareness, to gain more possibilities for social integration into the European community and make successful choice in their career. Our aim is to continue cooperation with the European Solidarity Corps Programme and gain experience and take advantages which the volunteers can bring to the work of European organizations, thus enriching their everyday professional and personal life.
