1. OBJECTIVES: The project “Creativity plus soft skills as a key to success not only in a whole life but also at a labour market” will be realised in a small city which is placed far away from academic and cultural centres. Characterized by no work places, small chance to find an interesting job and good quality for spending free time. That is why the main object of our project is based on teaching, first of all young and disabled people, seniors, also all local community, ways for spending time creatively and effectively related to their aspirations and possibilities in their lives. EVS volunteers and the persons who they will be working with, have to develop their creativity skills, adaptation ability in every life and professional situation without loosing the happiness and satisfaction of life. This general object we want to achieve trough:
a) learning process of mainly using formal and non formal education methods, soft skills useful in every kind of life situations
b) developing their creativity and innovative approach to the problems, professional and life situations
c) practical integration exercises which make you more active for mentioned groups, mainly with EVS volunteers: work with disabled people and youngsters from high schools, and children in KOM.
Our additional aim is related to build partnerships, cooperation and solidarity among citizens of “poor south regions of Europe” Italy and Spain with the poorer citizens of Slavic countries, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Macedonia – trough hosting volunteers from those countries in Poland.

3.METHODOLOGY USED IN IMPLEMENTING THE PROJECT:
The innovation of methodology will be used by modern methods and techniques of learning, and developing creativity. Related to this KOM (Creative Multifunctional Object) absorbs the big field of opportunities, specialized in organisation of creative activities for children, youngsters and youth from all over Lower Silesia Region.
As usual we will be working by formal and non formal education methods based on practices, experience and students activity and also by fulfilling pointed tasks and practical actions. Implementing the rule “Tell me, I'll forget, show me, I'll remember, let me take part in it then I'll understand” . We create closer and better partnership relationships student – teacher. It is less official but aims for cooperation and activity for both sides. “Teacher” not only passes the knowledge but he is also a supervisor and guide. The learning process is elastic and adjusted to the needs of student. He decides by himself about the form and direction of learning process. Non formal education demands engage, activity and awareness of student. Volunteers all together will decide significantly about the form of their volunteery service in all fields where it will be possible without changing the aims which are going to be realised during the project. They will be our equal laws partners.
