The presence of EVS volunteers in an organization mainly based on voluntary activity is a strong testimony of active citizenship , democracy and respect in the service for children. Through the various initiatives we aim to promote knowledge, dismantle stereotypes and offer opportunities to meet and to develop a critical ability . The presence of young people who decide to spend ten months of their life for a volunteering experience in a European country , gives a significant testimony of generosity , openness and acceptance that can be an interesting opportunity to reflect about respect, volunteering , acceptance and openness to the other .
