With different volunteer tasks in each Organization volunteers aim their efforts towards united goals creating open, tolerant, and educated society. EVS in this project contributes to the development of the local community in a broader sense: receiving organizations broaden their working methodologies, volunteers are learning to live, learn, respect and help, local people can observe and participate in the life of “alternative” youth. These aims are pursued by creating a learning forum both for the coming volunteers and the local community (youth) in general. Methods of non-formal education are applied. The project activities take place in organizations based in Kaunas, Klaipėda, Šiauliai, Plungė, Utena, Varėna, Prienai, Zarasai which jointly host 18 EVS volunteers. Volunteering will last 8-10 months. 12 sending partner organizations from 9 different countries (Russia, Spain, Italy, Germany, Portugal, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Romania and Armenia) and two different regions take part in the project.
