„SKY IS THE LIMIT” is the European Voluntary Service project which will be implemented in Mińsk Mazowiecki, hosted by Fundacja EBU. The volunteer Jaël Uebersax will participate in a long term service from August 2016 until March 2017. The main focus of the project is based on intercultural education, development of social skills and cultural animation. The objectives of the project are: deepening the intercultural dialogue, fighting the youth unemployment along with boosting the employability of young people by facilitating skill training, strengthening tolerance and knowledge of other cultures amongst the local community, improving social and communication skills amongst children and youth. In order to achieve our goals we will use non-formal methodology. Some of the methods planned for the implementation are: animation activities for children, workshops for youth (related to diverse topics based on the interests of the volunteer for example music, sport, art, conversations, etc.), assistance at activities with disabled, intercultural events focused on presenting the volunteer's cultures, social skills trainings, seminars and meetings, lectures at the University of Third Age, conversation clubs, photo and video reporting of the activities. The volunteer will have a chance to design and deliver her own ideas for activities. She will develop her initiative and entrepreneurship as well as improve her organizational and social skills necessary to implement her individual project. Children and youth will enrich their knowledge about the world as well as they will discover and emphasize their own cultural identity. This project will deepen the intercultural dialogue in the local community, broaden tolerance, European awareness and encourage the team spirit and sense of cooperation. It will empower every participant to a more intensive personal development.
