THE WORLD IS IN US
Start date: Nov 30, 2015, End date: Apr 29, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Formation The project was formed on the basis of our effort to enlarge an offer of leisure education which is the main content of our activities. We consider non-formal education as a process of developing abilities and skills which lead to gaining key competences. We want to provide opportunities to young people who are involved into the EVS project and add the element of international cooperation into our effect on clients. Objectives Our objective is the support of non-formal education of volunteers, our clients and employees of our organization and its enlargement into the European dimension. Besides we want to develop key competences in the field of foreign languagues, we want to get more information on other cultures and countries, to involve into the network of international contacts and to gain the sense of European citizenship and European identity. EVS has a good reputation in our organization and due to possibilities of young people to meet active participants of EVS, our clients find out the possibilities how to join this programme. A lot of local people are in touch with ex-volunteers on social networks and the knowledge and skills gained in this way of informal cooperation are used in their everyday life. The volunteers who leave us are more prepared for their roles in their future lives, they are more independent and they are able to make decisions more easily. Profile of participants The project is aimed at two volunteers and it is a long-term EVS. Due to the content of activities and forms implemented in our organization, the volunteers should be communicative, open, motivated, active, interested in learning our language, new things and methods of work with children and adults, and in this case they could feel satisfied, happy and comfortable here. Description of activities * active work with children and adults * preparation of art and sporting activities * regular activities in the open club for children and youth and in the maternity centre – according to part H of our application * cooperation with Mikado employees in preparing and course of events organised by Mikado Centre * conversation in volunteer´s mother tongue with the public * meetings with students and the public * active participation in the evaluation of the project and self-evaluation in the process of learning * cooperation in promoting Erasmus+ Programme and EVS. Methodology and implementation of the project In the course of implementation of the project and participation of volunteers in activities organized by Mikado employees and also volunteers´own projects, gradual steps from the easiest to more complicated ones will be used to fulfill the objectives of the project – learning and developing of the volunteer. The important thing is to engage volunteers in activities in a way which is natural in the learning process – at first as observers, later as assistants and at the end of the project as active organizers. A part of it is regular, systematic evaluation of activities and learning process. The plan is not static, we are ready to change it and edit it according to the needs both the volunteers and the organization. The agency agreement is formed among VO, HO and the volunteer and this agreement edits the role of particular parts of the project and in the fulfillment of the project objectives. Results and impact of the project The result of our project is learning and improving knowledge and skills with a multicultural dimension, improving tolerance and understanding among the participants, employees connected with our organization and also a wide range of public. Further it is the enlargement of international cooperation of involved organizations. The project brings all participants good motivation for international mobilities and non-formal education. Long-term contribution In terms of a long-term contribution, it is important for us to extend the knowledge of foreign languages, to get more information on different cultures and countries, to join the network of international contacts and to gain the sense of European citizenship and European identity.
