‘Step up, be the change’ is an EVS project. It is designed and built upon the idea of creating a project initiated from youth who are facing employability challenge in their lives. Thus, this project contributes to the growth and improvement of employability of young people who want to become creators of their future communities and employment opportunities. This project is designed to give opportunity to a total of 5 young people, all of them with fewer opportunities, to learn from each other through Erasmus+ mobility.Activity 1 (APV) Venue: Sofia, Bulgaria. APV dates: 01-02 March 2016 APV participants: 6 (2 from each SO) Activity 2 (Long-term EVS)EVS dates: 01 May 2016 – 30 April 2017 Sending partners: Club The House’ Latvia, Asociatia Synergy Romania and Egyesek Youth Association HungaryEVS volunteers: 5 Working conditions: 7 h/day, 35 h/week, Monday – Friday The mobility comprises 12-months in Sofia, Bulgaria where 5 people from three NGOs will contribute to their mutual learning and the development of Synergy Bulgaria and a local network of NGOs. Volunteers will contribute in the daily work of Synergy Bulgaria and will also also collaborate with our local partner NGOs. In this way they will get broader perspective of the local NGO sector and will learn from different sources. During the EVS project the volunteers will gain skills, competences and knowledge regarding the current needs on the European labour market and how they can implement them in their home countries in order to create fulfillment in their life after the EVS placement.Objectives:• empower young people, including those with fewer opportunities, to take full accountability of their own actions, learning and development • encourage the sense of initiative in youth and ignite the spark of entrepreneurship and creativity so that they develop skills and achieve objectives • turn ideas into actions that would lead to a better self-expression, inclusion and awareness of what needs to be done in the immediate surroundings and contribute to the better future of communities This EVS project promotes ‘learning by doing’ methodology when the volunteers become the creators of their own learning and success. Expected results:• self-confidence• leadership skills• experience in youth work• knowledge in running an NGO
