Youth for the Environment 2018
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Youth and Environment Europe (YEE) is a platform of European youth organisations that study nature or are active in environmental protection. The aim of YEE is to encourage youth to be involved in environmental protection and to provide a platform where these organisations can work together. All our activities are organised and carried out by young people under 31. YEE (already since 1983) organises and encourages all activities that can increase the knowledge, understanding and appreciation of nature and the awareness of environmental problems among young people in Europe.
YEE serves member organisations to exchange information, ideas and experience among them, through publications and European projects, like training courses, youth exchanges, campaigns.
YEE focuses on youth participation and non-formal education and organises projects to increase skills of young people and empower them to be active citizens.
💼 What the programme involves
The EVS project “Youth for the Environment 2017” will take place in the office of the international network Youth and Environment Europe on the ecological farm Toulcuv Dvur in Prague, Czech Republic.
There are 3 parts in the EVS project:
1. Work in YEE office – organising campaigns, creating publications, projects, updating website about youth issues and environmental awareness. Volunteers can practice skills of: cooperating in an intercultural team, working in English, organising, coordinating various projects, networking with member organisations, preparing publications, design, updating website, etc.
2. Practical activities in the ecological center Toulcuv Dvur, where YEE office is located – volunteers can help in the farm and make practical workshops focused on environmental education.
3. Volunteer’s personal project. Volunteers can prepare a project according to their interest to practice sense of initiative and entrepreneurship.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Accommodation
YEE will offer the volunteers accommodation in a shared flat. Each volunteer will have their own room. The flat will be located close to the ecological farm Toulcuv Dvur, where YEE's office is located.
Transportation
The EVS coordinator will arrange the public transport card for the volunteers before they come to Prague. The card will be paid every three months by the hosting organisation and will allow the volunteers to travel freely to work and around Prague.
🎒 Leisure activities
The volunteers will receive various learning opportunities during the project.
They will attend two events organised by the Czech National Agency: on-arrival training and mid-term evaluation meeting.
The office of YEE will also provide learning options: we organise learning days and sessions when one employee of the office can share some knowledge or skill which they are competent in.
