Jollieworkshops, held in Žilina, is a great example for a project that develops solidarity and promotes tolerance among youth. This project emphasises work with a group of individuals that have mixed abilities. One activity of this project was to host Tomáš, a young man with trisomy 21 from the Czech Republic. During his European Voluntary Service (EVS), he was involved in various activities that gave him great learning opportunities and a place to develop and discover new interests. By living and working in a foreign country, the young volunteer had the chance to practice independence. A main attraction of this project was a festival, which included cultural events, workshops, and much more. After the festival, Tomáš presented his project to the public followed by a discussion about new programmes for the future and a meeting with other volunteers and participants. Along with an assistant, Tomáš worked especially on masks for participants in the festival. But during the project he became interested in theatre, music and dance, and had several opportunities to perform. In this project, and especially in Tomáš’s case, the inclusion of people with disabilities into community life has been quite successful. Tomáš improved his skills in everything from arts and crafts to communication, and his message at the end of his EVS was: “I recommend to others to go ahead and take advantage of this great opportunity for themselves.” The project was considered a great success because it gave participants with fewer opportunities the chance to spend time in another country, meet new people, learn another language, and develop new skills. By doing so a bridge was built between people with and without disabilities.
