Voice the Cause! Creativity, Action and Service for Youth Work
Start date: Mar 1, 2013,
This project explores the themes of media and communications, youth information and environment. Its key objective is to explore together with volunteers fun and creative ways in which international youth work, sustainability and Youth in Action programme and EVS can be effectively promoted and gain more visibility and reach.The service will last for 12 months. The project involves 2 volunteers and 2 sending organizations from Portugal and Brazil and coordinating and host organisation based in Prague, Czech Republic. The volunteers will experience a great and successful year full of fun, learning, and exploring of various topics in field of youth work and environmental education, the Czech culture, working towards their own learning goals, new experiences and abilities. In this project we will combine IYNF experience in hosting EVS volunteers with the needs and interests of the two volunteers that we will host. We firmly believe that this project will positively contribute to development of those two young people, while being beneficial to IYNF as an organization.One of the main educational methods of non-formal education that we use in IYNF is offering ‘learning-by-doing experiences’. People in general and in this case volunteers in specific learn much more when they can try out things and make mistakes in a safe environment, were the tasks they are trusted with are treated as a learning opportunity for a volunteer rather than their responsibilities. The staff of the organization sets the direction of the project, provides tools, knowledge, support and resources for it and gives the volunteers space and trust to learn and develop in the way that is suited to their needs. IYNF wants the volunteers to do something that they like, that they are passionate about and which reflects their needs and interests. The volunteers will be involved in a meaningful, useful activity and programme and will be able to achieve important results and learning outcomes.
