Many today's decision of adults will take effect on the environment in the future. If young people have to bear the consequences of these decisions, it is important for them to learn to plan and implement their own activities for the benefit of the local community and subsequently take responsibility for good solutions from the idea to realization. Many young people have unfulfilled need how to learn to participate on decision making about their community and the environment. The current situation as regards (only) protecting the environment in the Russian Federation is a Central-European perspective perceived as not changeable by civil activities of adults, not even young people. Slatinka village is similar as far Siberia – it was a formal authority from "outside" who decided about our future. It was perceived as "unperceptive" for many years ago. It is an excellent opportunity how to invent, develop and do something for the benefit of others for young people in this community. They can obtain knowledge, skills and competencies then use in their own community, they also perceive others as "unperceptive".The specific objective of the project is to improve the level of key competences and skills of young people who come from geographically remote area of the Russian Federation by identifying and participate in solving everyday problems in one local community in Slovakia. These problems are primarily environmental, but have connection and limit the quality of life in this valley. The wider objective of the project "Help for local community" in the context of the ERASMUS + program is to facilitate the efficient investment in knowledge, skills and competences of young people and society so that young people can apply the acquired knowledge for the prosperity and growth in Europe and beyond in the future.Participating countries are Slovakia and Russia. The main activity of the project is a long-term /5 months/ European Voluntary Service for two volunteers from the Russian Federation, the city in Siberia. Volunteers contacted host organization at the beginning. Subsequently Slatinka Association contacted the sending organization in Russia. Both volunteers are from an environment that is geographically remote and it is a rather economically weak regions.The activity will be implemented in Zvolen and in Slatina river valley, in Slatinka village from June to November 2016.
