EVA

The project “EVA - Empowerment through Volunteering Activities”, supported by the
Erasmus + programme, aims to stimulate the participation of young people in
European democratic life through the commitment to social volunteering initiatives.
The project is aimed at young people aged between 18 and 30 with the aim of:

> Spread the culture of volunteering among young people

> Raise awareness among young people on the opportunities for personal and professional growth through volunteering and European programs

The last phase of the project will involve 10 young people with fewer opportunities
(e.g. young migrants, NEETs, unemployed) in short-term activities abroad lasting
about 30 days during summer 2021 (July-August).
The short-term activities will allow volunteers to support the staff and local volunteers
of the hosting organizations in the initiatives organised in favour of their local
communities, children and young people.
Volunteers will acquire transversal skills useful for their path of human and personal
growth, and at the same time the knowledge and practical skills, directly linked to
the planned activities, which will help to improve their employability and facilitate
their insertion into the world of work.
Furthermore, everyone will play a role of "bridges" between their own culture and
that of the communities they come into contact with in the host countries, and
everyone will have the opportunity to expand their network of friendships with other
young people from different countries.
The project is coordinated by Associazione InformaGiovani.
