PROJECT
FINISHED
The project based on the idea of our EVS volunteer, who at the time of project application was working with our organization. The EVS Program gives a unique opportunity to the youth and gives them one year to learn something new and exciting. However, after the program we have limited information about the ex-volunteers, how they could build in their experience into their every day life. Did they find a job? Are they still interested in such programs like Erasmus Plus? What do they do now and how they can return to their ""old life"". Do they need to change back or should they keep being different in their homeplace? How could we help them to show the right way, how could we help them, teach them how to start something new and different.
Our training course was aiming to see what happened with ex-evs volunteers and where are they right now, years after the EVS experience. The participants are from different countries, with different backgrounds, only one thing is common: they were doing the same project in Kapsosvár, Hungary. Some of the participants did know each other before this project, but most of them were doing their project in different times. However, their mentor and coordinator was the same and at this time, the mentor and the coordinator also took part in the project and they were working with the participants.
Most of the ex-EVS volunteers are unemployed and they do not know how to include and use their EVS experience to get better chances on the labor market. This project aimed to show them, to develop their skills, to help them use their knowledge. We did show them how to start a new entrepreneurship, how to go after a good idea, and how to develop their selves. Also we had positive examples, where we could learn about a successful career of one of the ex-EVS volunteer.
During their skill development they did also learn about different cultures, methods, way of thinkings, countries. After the project we are expecting the participants to be more active, to have more self-esteem, and to start to do steps in order to develop their selves, making actions in their local community. To create a youth club, to help other youth, who has less opportunity. To have new project ideas and to realize them. After months of the project we can say, most of the participants remain active: some of them already applied for a project, and some of them would like to particpate just as a participant. Some of them would like to repeat this skill development training course in their country, promoting the Erasmus Plus program to the local youth as well.
Why the project got the title: ¿Perroflauta yo? ¡NO! Construyo la sociedad. Perroflauta is a Spanish expression, when young people stay on the streets and play on their music instruments in order to get some tips from the people, and they live from one day to another, doing nothing.
With this project, this is what we are going to prevent. By attending this project, our ex-evs volunteers will get new ideas, new impressions to start something new, and useful to their local society. We make sure our project is not ending with the activity days, even today, months after the project we keep in touch and we talk about our project ideas, or any success what our participants have achieved.
