The importance of leisure time activities offered to young people, and especially the way in which these activities relate to and
interfere with their personal development and to community development, is our motivation for running the Youth Centre. It is of
utmost importance that young people everywhere are offered a large variety of participation opportunities and learning
experiences. We strongly believe that by proving the community with the example of involved young people, taking initiative on
their personal development process and acting as resources for the Youth Centre will positively influence the community in issues
regarding young people.
The project, “Building Youth Supportive Communities” (BYSC) aims at increasing solidarity and support of the community towards
young people by involving young EVS volunteers as resources in youth related activities using nonformal education and peer
learning.

Provide a framework for peer learning among the EVS volunteers and the local young people over a period of 10 months
