Europa en La Sagra
Start date: Jun 1, 2016, End date: Jul 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Europa en La Sagra-EVS Project For Europe to stay in La Sagra, we need to continue our work in the region, the results are important but have a long way to go.La Sagra in Castilla La Mancha – a part of Europe becoming closer everyday – is where European volunteers will live and implement this project. They will live and share experiences with the local youngsters. Beforehand the place doesn't seem like a very promising land, but with the help of European values and programmes we can make it a better environment. We want Europe to remain at the Sagra and therefore can not interrupt the process that we started with our three previous projects: "Somewhere in La Sagra ...", "Don Quijotes in La Sagra" and "De la Sagra Europe".Our objective: transform ourselves and our county. Our previous experiences with EVS projects in the area have proven that the presence of European youngsters acts like key part for the opening of eyes towards the local and international possibilities which can be implemented in La Sagra. Only with their presence they are able to break this vicious cycle and the process allows local youngster to begin to liberate themselves of the sensation of “no-present, no-future”. At the same time, the EVS volunteers will experience their own transformative and identity-changing process by being in contact with such difficult, challenging but also passionate tasks and situations. The two European volunteers involved in this Long Term EVS Project will be facing three monstrous giants for youngsters of our time in La Sagra: “Unmotivation”, “Insatisfaction”, “Individualism” and “Senseofnofuture”. We already know the battle will be uneven but just presenting it will be our big victory. The youngsters of La Sagra, need some inspiration and models to build their life considering their local environment and the international possibilities they have. They need to be really local to became absolutely global.The Long Term EVS project “Europe in La Sagra...” will take place in the small towns of Borox and Numancia de La Sagra, in where the hosting organization, Proyecto Kieu, has its headquarters. The two volunteers will join the Youth and Social Services in the villages to help with different community, social and cultural activities with the aim to help youngsters to be involved in social participation. With their example of European Volunteers they also inspire local youngsters to know more about international and European options for themselves.They will learn how, even though they live in a small town and sometimes feel isolated from the international aspects of today’s world, they can access plenty of resources and experience things from new perspectives at an European level.
