Project "Find Yourself in EVS volunteers will be carried out by an experienced on volunteers hosting organization Telšiai Youth Centre. Telšiai Youth Centre is an organization that provides services for 13-29 youngsters in the town and rural areas of Telšiai. We plan to host two EVS volunteers. One working position - open youth work in Open Youth Centre of Telšiai town, the second working position - open work with young people, working together with Mobile Youth workers who works every evening in 10 rural areas Of Telšiai district.
Project topic - volunteering and informal education of young people. Aim of the project - to give EVS volunteers space for interculturral learning through experience, and encourage young people's interest in another culture, to get the idea that us, as world inhabitants, more things unites than divides. We also want to give young people the opportunity to try social work sphere - an open youth work. We want to offer to "try a hoodie of Youth worker". We believe that such activity gives experience for future continuing growth as a person, teaches the monitor yourself, forms skill to reflect on the feelings and emotions, creatively seek solutions in the different situations.
Voluntary activity will last 12 months. Volunteers from Georgia and Finland will be actively involved in the activities - will help youth workers administrate hosting organizations activities, will be in contact with young people, in the small daily activities (developing social skills of young people - cooking day, housekeeping day and so on), in organizing thematic workshops , camps, hikes, height tasks in Learning threw experience center, in spreading information about the organization out in public, preparing presentations in other institutions (Unimployment centre, schools), on the street. Work schedule and tasks for volunteers will go together with the season - Spring and Summer activities held outdoors (up to the Open Telšiai Youth Centre, Learning threw experience centers area, hiking and nature camps, in rural areas - stadiums, riverside, where young people like to hang). During the cold season, more indoor activities inside the Youth centre. In tra rural areas - schools, gyms, community houses, etc.
