The European Voluntary Service project called “Volunteering in Finland-window to creativity” will be hosted by organization “DaisyEläkeläiset ry”, based in Turku, Finland. Both of Turkish volunteers will take part in the voluntary service from the 1th February 2016 until the 31st January 2017. Young Turkish volunteers will organize different non formal activities for immigrants residing in Turku. As example the activities will include arts, photography, ecological and other workshops with similar topics in order to develop their abilities and potentials for their future lives.The priority is given to volunteers possibilities express themselves and have meaningful experience while leading the activities for immigrants. In order to realize the main aim they will be supported by tools and resources the organization owns and will be ensured to get the following learning outcomes: social and civic competences, entrepreneurship and initiative-taking, learning to learn and cultural self-awareness. The local community will benefit from the additional activities and opportunities for non formal learning. This is particularly key for some of more isolated young people who get few opportunities for enjoying the modern world possiblities and we anticpate an increased engagement in our future European activities, including recruitment of volunteers to send on EVS projects. The objectives of the European Voluntary Service are centered on the learning outcomes of the volunteers:- developing the volunteers’ competence (skills, knowledge, attitude) in youth work with immigrants- developing volunteer’s communication skills in mother and foreign languages, but also indirect and intercultural sensitive communication skills- team-working skills in an intercultural context- developing the volunteer’s professional skills in preparing, running and evaluating various types of artistic activities as arts and photography that have an educational objective
