Dejame ver con tus ojos (Let me see with your eyes) 2014
Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: Sep 1, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The group EVS project involved three mobilities held in Santander (Spain) and also in the villages of Cantabria in which volunteers from programme countries, represented by the following organizations: Mutual Youth Development Center aid; Bulgaria, Turkey and Sariyer Municipality Experiment eV (Bonn, Germany) collaborated with a volunteering project at ONCE. The duration of the total activity was 8 months being 7 months the duration of the individual activity of each volunteer. The volunteers joined the project in October and November. We wanted to promote the idea of peer learning, therefore first volunteers introduced the ones who joined later in the project. The volunteers who arrived in October also met the experienced volunteers who explained the project organization and accompanied them during the first days in all activities. The activity was mainly developed at ONCE, which has its own volunteering project. The three volunteers helped in daily tasks of people with visual impairments, like for example, going to a doctor, shopping, making errands at the bank, etc ... also accompanied and participated in workshops and excursions organized by ONCE- activities especially complicated for people without enough autonomy. The volunteers accompanied the blind people to help them participate in social life of the organization. Moreover they have participated in various activities Asociación Ser Joven (coordinating organization) run with its partners in Cantabria, such as awareness campaigns on blood donation, Erasmus + and EVS promotional activities and dissemination activities on the Internet (updating the web and social networks). The objective of these activities was primarily to educate young people through different educative activities in their free time. Participation of the volunteers from different countries and cultures brings topics as cultural diversity, European Union and active participation closer to local youth. Among the direct project results we can mention the availability and collaboration of ONCE to host the seminar EVS Impact, which took place in September http://evsimpactppf.webnode.es/
