The project 'InterGREAT: Volunteers Building Bridges' is an EVS project that will be implemented between October 2016 and October 2017, with two volunteers coming from Finland and Italy. The two volunteers will be hosted by the Association of Service Civil International (SCI) located in Antwerp, Belgium. 'To stimulate solidarity and to value diversity' is a very important theme in the work of SCI and is among our Strategic Goals. We are currently in the process of developing our campaign 'Building Bridges' in Europe and beyond, to give visibility to the work SCI does with and for refugees and asylums seekers, so that these inspirational stories can travel beyond national borders thanks to our international network. Raising awareness can contribute to the reduction of stereotypes and prejudices and create more respect for vulnerable groups of people. We believe that these groups that are marginalized, excluded or face discrimination should be empowered to play an active role in society, instead of being just a target of solidarity. It is against this background, that SCI will invite two volunteers to work at the International Secretariat in Belgium on various awareness raising, communication and fundraising tasks. The two volunteers will focus on this topic throughout their project, creating online content and helping to collect and share all activities that come under the Building Bridges Campaign. They will use various media and means of communication such as text, video and image. Apart from collecting and contributing content for the campaign, the volunteers will also have close links to activities going on in the field, as they will have the opportunity to be involved locally, with Flemish volunteers, and by organizing a workcamp that focuses on asylum seekers in Flanders during August. The volunteers will be encouraged to keep a blog or use other social media such as short videos on youtube to communicate and share their experiences of their EVS project. For the two volunteers the impact will consist of increased skills, competencies, experiences and professional growth which will add to their employability. They will have the opportunity to work in a busy, international office which will give them a challenging but very fulfilling experience. The expected impact on target groups is that many young people in the European Union become aware of issues surrounding refugees and asylum seekers, are informed and inspired on ways in which they can work together with and for these marginalized groups, and contribute to a larger Building Bridges Campaign. Young people will have the knowledge of volunteering as a form of active citizenship. The Partner organisations from Finland and Italy for this EVS project will benefit from this project as well as through the work of the EVS volunteers in the office, as the volunteers will bring back and share their knowledge, experiences, skills and networks with their sending organisations. Once back the volunteers will be asked to join activities at local level, thus contributing to multiply the results and effects of the project. The volunteers will also become part of a broader, international network bringing with it many new friends, fresh perspectives and alternative ways to actively contribute to a world of peace, which they will take with them after their EVS experience has ended.
