First and foremost, the project is based and is designed to contribute to the development of an individual who is involved in EVS. It is also important that the project promote the European dimension and touches the priority issues that affect mainly young; Unemployment and the acquisition of competences to enter the labor market, active participation, intercultural dialogue and solidarity as the cornerstone of advancement and personal satisfaction.
The project is designed to expand the program and interference in the environment of young people who are too passive in their perception of the world. We hope that this project encourages other young people to join EVS; and vice versa: that there will be other young people the courage to continue this partnership.
