Project activities dates and location: 01 July 2014 - 01 July 2015 (12 months), Gdańsk-Poland.
This project addresses an important issue for our association and its local community, the lack of adequate sport education. Our association is running different educative projects for youths, scouts and seniors and we foresee the possibility to organize these kind of sport educative offers for them, in our association, while taking care also about the promotion and information of these activities to the public and by organizing social sensitization activities.
Therfore, we are looking for 1 EVS volunteer with determined competences and skills in the sport field, that will help us in organizing these activities through all the time of his service period.
At the local level, the impacts of the project are expected to be:
1. decreasing of health costs
2. increasing of participation in sport education activities
3. more social inclusion of disvantaged people/no discrimination
4. empowerment of young and old people through non-formal education and learning by doing
5. increasing of european awareness by sharing common values with other European people.
Moreover, the people with whom the volunteer will mainly work will have the opportunity to expand their knowledge of other cultures and to overcome language barriers. The involvement of volunteers will also build a positive image of young people in the local community and promote the idea of volunteering - both European and local.
The volunteer is expected to gain competences and experiences in project management, in languages and communication process, digital, interpersonal and mathematical competences that can empower him/her and rise his/her employability chances. He/she will increase the sense of initiative and enterpreneurship, will enhance his/her intercultural and European awareness. He/she will recieve the "Youthpass Certificate" that will help to show his/her own newly gained competences to potential employers.
