The main objective of an EVS project is to ensure a good impact (when it comes to the values and ideology of the Erasmu on the volunteer, the hosting-organization and the local community where the project is imbedded. This impact will be realized The impact on local community will cause more awareness of EVS and . Through the participation in joint activities, young people from Krasnoyarsk and the volunteer acquire new knowledge and develops new attitudes towards different countries. Volunteer will have an opportunity to use all her experience from the project, to create the active way of participation and develop competences which are important both as for personal as professional future. The involvement in the local community will ensure that both Russian and volunteer’s community will benefit from the project.
