Main objectives of the project were: - To promote international voluntary service, especially EVS and Erasmus+ programme and spread awareness about voluntary movements in general; - To change point of view on foreign volunteers and show the benefits of international volunteering as a learning method and contribution to future employment of individual; - To create and intercultural impact and spread the idea of benefits of culturally diverse environment and fight stereotypes and xenophobia by that and use international and intercultural dimension of the project to support positive feelings about cultural diversity (meetings with youth, presentations about own culture in libraries, schools etc.); - To give the volunteer opportunity to participate on various projects of our organization and by that gain new competences and skills in the field of regional cultural development and promotion of volunteering and learn from the experience; - Cooperation with local and regional organizations in order to strengthen cohesion in the issues of volunteering and international volunteering with the help of EVS volunteers; - Assistance at public events, organized by Partners of KURO HK in the city/region, as a great opportunity to learn about active civil participation, different topics as work with children, environmental issues, culture and charity.
