PROJECT
FINISHED
We wanted to consider the concepts of having less opportunities and involving the young people with fewer opportunities through this project. We wanted to provide more visibility to young people with fewer opportunities, actively in the process. We also considered the challenges of working with the young people with fewer opportunities. We mentioned about these challenges and the ways to include them. We planned this project; to provide more information about the process to the young people who want to participate in European Voluntary Service, to make them choose more suitable projects for themselves to minimize problems, to make them perform projects of EVS more proper.
Through this training course, we plan to consider the topics of involving the young people with fewer opportunities, informing the organizations in EVS, recognition of the concept of young people with fever opportunities, keypoints in the developing projects for
the young people with fewer opportunities, volunteering and active citizenship.
The project is implemented as a training course and will take place between 5-12 September 2016 8 nights and 9 days with 33 participants and 2 trainers from Bulgaria, Croatia, Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, Albania, Slovak Republic, Georgia, Poland, Russian Federation, Lithuania and Turkey.
The training course lasted eight days and following basic non-formal education methods are used during the course: Simulation Games, Forum Theatre and role plays, Group Work, Outdoor Activities
Objectives of the project:
-To increase the participation of young people with fewer opportunities in EVS projects.
-To consider and bring solutions to possible problems occur during the inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities.
-To develop new strategies to participate more efficiently in an EVS project.
-To provide the visibility of EVS in local.
-To promote tolerance among the young people in order to ensure social harmony in EU and to show EVS is a path of solidarity.
-To provide the training to the young people so they would be able to write their own EVS projects, able to host or coordinator.
-To consider the responsibilities of sending, host and coordinating organizations.

As the result of the project, the participants gained experience in the topics of EVS, Volunteering, Inclusion of disadvantaged people. They benefited from these experiences in their future EVS projects. The visibility of Erasmus+ Youth Programme and EVS tried to increase through the activities and events which are held by the participants in their locals. Furthermore, the participants worked together with our organization to make an influence in their locals, national and international areas.
In the long term, through the project, the possible benefits are;
-Increase in the number of young participants with fewer opportunities in EVS.
-Increase in the number of young participants with fewer opportunities in the projects under Erasmus+ Youth Programme.
-Awareness about inclusion of the young people with fewer opportunities.
