Cross Continents through culture
Start date: Jan 1, 2014,

This project connects 4 European, 1 Asian, 1 African and 2 Latin American EVS organisations with whom KERIC has previously cooperated within EVS as well as within a 3.2. project. By cooperating with partner organisations whom we know, we are able to provide a good base for high-quality and successful EVS projects involving mainly youth with fewer opportunities. The objective of the project is to enable young people aged 18 to 30 to do EVS abroad for 3 to 12 months with the aim to gain intercultural experience, raise European awareness and fight against prejudice against foreigners. The project will contribute to personal and proffessional development of the volunteers with the aim to find a job in the future as well as help the people from local communities to become more open and tolerant towards foreigners, or people different from them. The activities of the volunteers vary depending on the host organisation. Generally, the volunteers will support the local communinty,work with children and youth - organise workshops, awareness activities, cultural and sport clubs, information and presentation activities about EVS. The methods of work follow the principles of non-formal education.
