The seminar „Sowing the seed for EVS” was an event for EVS mentor and coordinators planting the ideas for our future common EVS projects, assuring their quality and sustainability, as well as preparing key persons in each of organization to implement it with the highest standards. It was coming from the existing risks, challenges and dangers connected with EVS projects done by organisations who don`t know each other, don`t know how to cooperate with each other and have thereby problems keeping high standards of EVS. We wanted to make more EVS opportunities of the highest quality sending and hosting volunteers from different european countries. In the seminar took part 11 organisations from 9 EU and Partner countries, together 29 people from: Czech Republic, Poland, Georgia, Greece, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Macedonia and Spain.

The project was directed to EVS mentors and coordinators in NGO holding accreditation for EVS sending and/or hosting and/or cordinating. Methods used during the project were practical workshops, simulations, theater, brainstorm, moderated discussions, exchange of knowledge and expertise in a small teams.
