The project, lasting 4 months, is titled "iVolunteer" and focuses on the topic of volunteering. Its main goal is to bring European youth closer to the world of European volunteering. Recent studies show that volunteer actions are a positive resource for the selected communities and that the profiles of the young participants are significantly strengthened. For example, they develop a better capacity for integration in different cultures and social contexts, they learn how to work in a group and find solutions to different problems. Volunteering has emerged as a tool in the fight against unemployment. This is because a volunteering experience offers young people: • An open mind against discrimination barriers (learning how to work with disabled people and from different cultures and languages) • New friends, contacts and job opportunities • A new experience for the positive CV spin off • The opportunity--in case the activity is realized abroad--of learning or mastering a language. "iVolunteer" wants to be a viral infection due to its beneficial effects. The idea is to turn the spotlight on this essential fertilizer for society by showing Europe's youth the beauty and the advantages of spending time as a volunteer. During the activities week, which will take place from September 7-14, 2014, in Ciudad Real (Spain), twenty young people from four countries (Spain, Italy, Portugal and Slovakia) will meet in order to share their experiences of local, national and international volunteering, analyse together the situation of volunteering in Europe starting from the local realities, and produce a video clip which will show European youth why they should be a part of a volunteer action. The video will be disseminated throughout Europe in future projects, internet and mass media. It will be a free use video, which will be at the disposal of all organizations and associations. The 20 participants will be between ages 18 and 30 and will be equally gendered. They are supposed to have had a previous volunteering experience in different social contexts before taking part in this project. The knowledge of English will be an asset to work in a group and socialize with others. Each one of the selected partners has a different profile: young people who participate in local projects concerning different social problems, as well as people with previous experience in the European Voluntary Service. Non-formal learning will be the pillar of the project, thus the young people (through experience exchanges, team work, joint analysis of the situation, problems and possible solutions) could learn how to carry out different kinds of projects and activities and, mostly, they would communicate to European youth the benefits of participating in volunteer activities. The realities in which the four organizations develop their activities will be the first to be impacted by the project: here the youngsters, through the participants' experiences, will understand the project and its results, they will be aware of the Erasmus+ programme's opportunities and they will be the promoters of related activities in the immediate future. Further, as a long term result, the video clip produced during the project will be a relevant tool for the promotion of the activities, and most of all, of the positive concept of volunteering that will reach an increasing amount of youth in Europe. This will encourage the participation of a lot of young people in different projects at local, national and European levels. Concerning the project partners, the participation of young people in future activities and the possibility to apply in different projects will be enhanced.
