Within the project “This Ability II” Eeva Airikkala from Finland took part in the voluntary service for 6 months at the Grenzenlos office. Eeva was involved in the international summer project and supported us within the implementation of civil courage projects which where supported by the European Youth foundation. Eeva is a wheelchair user with education in social work.
This project was coordinated by Grenzenlos within the frame of the MELANGE Programme. The MELANGE program is the EVS in Vienna in close cooperation with wienXtra in behalf of the city of Vienna. Within the program the volunteers and host projects are supported and connected in order to get to know each other, share experiences and - simply - to have an enriching time. Within Melange several free time activities and cultural events for current and former EVS volunteers are organized by Grenzenlos
