The essence of Caritas organization - is the free decision of each person to take part in activities oriented to justice and help to each other, especially by being more attentive to most vulnerable members of the society. Volunteering is good way to realize this decision, which brings important energy not reachable using only employees work. This project has 3 aims:1. To develop faith in the value and potency of volunteering as well as to underline the connection of volunteering and democratic processes in society (in all project countries).2. To develop volunteering and non-formal education systems in VA Caritas. 3. To create preconditions in partner organizations to develop more qualified youth work and more active mobility of youth workers. Project participants - 12 long-term EVS volunteers from 3 different countries (Latvia, Germany and Italy), who will be hosted by 4 VA Caritas departments in Vilnius Arcdiocese. Expected project results are following:1. Stronger believe in volunteering value (as proactive way of participating in society processes and way of personal development) in EVS hosting communities (in Lithuania) also in volunteers sending communities. 2. Developed participants' competences and stronger consciousness as well as ability to be proactive and socially responsible citizen. 3. VA Caritias departments will become more capable to organize volunteering and non-formal education activities. 4. Lithuanian youth with lower opportunities (from VA Caritas target groups) will develop their skills to participate in multicultural environment and to be familiar with youth mobility activities.
