The Skorohod Platform is a multidisciplinary, multi-functional platform for contemporary performance art, we host theater, dance, music, and media. There are no similar venues in St. Petersburg. Skorohod is not a repertory organization, we do not have permanent actors or company, we provide a platform to various groups working in contemporary genres and formats. We produce festivals: and host about 40 international artists per year. The rhythm we live in - is craze. Everyday we use the venue and seems that it never ends. As soon as we are independent cultural organization we we used to rely only on ourselves. That's why we so flexible and effective, but also it's a matter of everyday shortage: in financial backing, of hands, of human resources. When we got know about EVS project, we decided to apply, because if it happen it will let us share our everyday life with motivated people, who would like to learn. We ofcourse have quite productive experience in hosting short term volunteers, but that's always a pity to give someone your knowledge and time to different people who change quickly. In will be a pleasure to work with someone permanently, at list for 1 year. Skorohod is member of Trans Europe Halles, the international network of independent cultural centers. Where together with our Partner P60 will discuss the EVS project and think of how we implement it and improve it. Platform Skorohod meets all objectives of European Voluntary Service program, because it develops solidarity and promotes tolerance among young people, in particular in order to foster social cohesion in the European Union through common activities of volunteers from Europe in Russia, creating an atmosphere of unity and common development. Moreover, as not much cultural and social organization know about EVS we also contributing in developing such systems of work in Russia and encourages Russian organizations to use exchange programs with foreign countries. The project develops participation of young people from both countries - Netherlands and Russian Federation. The EVS project is an educational program based on the principles of non-formal education. The volunteers will acquire new experiences, new skills, and gain independence. They will get in touch with different cultures and work for a project useful for the local community of the hosting country. The volunteers will learn to live with people from different backgrounds, with different cultural traditions and will acknowledge the diversity. They will discover Russia, with its social, economic, cultural realities beyond the stereotypes of traditional tourism. The sum of all these practices would help the volunteers to expand their point of view and to acquire new skills. This application is for 2 EVS volunteers, for period 01-03-15 till 01-03-16
