EVS Opportunity in Palermo

Our organization is based in Palermo, whose goal is to spread information about Europe, European Union and European funding programs.

Our goals :

- To provide information and assistance about the EU and its policies and programmes; 

- To educate local citizens and organizations to be responsive to the challenges and opportunities offered by the EU;

- To actively promote debate about the EU and its policies, supporting Participatory Citizenship;

- To foster the concept of European citizenship through educational activities as well as international mobility and cultural exchanges;

The main objective of this project is to promote the European Union and European citizenship at the local level by forging the European identity of young generations.

Young students attend non-formal learning workshops and lectures about European geography, European countries and their diverse cultures and traditions, European institutions and their functioning and responsibilities, European policies and Fundamental Rights.

There is an occasion in each workshop and lecture for reflecting about international issues, exchanging views on diversities, sharing experiences and opinions.
