Global Coalition for Youth Action is an EVS project which intersects European Member States with Other Partner Countries of the World towards the common goal of Youth and Community Development. Within the frameworks of intercultural communication, collaborative learning, and active civic engagement, two European youth –one from the east (Romania) and one from the west (Spain) –will join a volunteer from overseas (United States) to develop innovative youth programmes ranging from local to international in scope, merging ideologies across continental and cultural lines.Youth volunteers will work alongside our eclectic team of staff and volunteers at Code-X International to create an infrastructure of information- and skill-oriented youth actions within the context of modern globalization. Working together over the course of 6 to 12 months, this Coalition will adopt a fresh, grass-roots approach to youth development cooperation and youth information, emphasizing non-formal education, active communication, and interactive learning methodologies.Volunteers will also be encouraged to become involved in any projects or initiatives of our organization which appeal to them, including for instance SVP (‘Senior Volunteer Programme’, senior-oriented programmes for 2012 incorporating themes like active aging and intergenerational cooperation), marketing, fund-raising, networking, and project development. Their integration into the Dutch community will be facilitated by intercultural activities and group Dutch lessons.
