Volunteering in Zugdidi
Start date: Oct 1, 2015, End date: Jan 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project “Volunteering in Zugdidi” will be implemented by Xchange Scotland and CHCA. On the one hand, the project aims at developing CHCA’scapacity to effectively assist IDPs and other vulnerable populations in Georgia with the support of the EVS volunteer. IDPs, particularly youth, women, and vulnerable elderly will attain improved social and economic well-being. On the other hand, the EVS volunteer will develop his skills and competencies, will better manage his career and be prepared to secure future employment either in Georgia or abroad in the humanitarian or development settings. The project envisages hosting one volunteer – Ka Wing Chan – in CHCA's Zugdidi office. The volunteer is expected to actively participate in the activities of the organisation and shares his skills and experience with other colleagues. Ka will perform all the activities in close cooperation and coordination with CHCA colleagues. The detailed description of the scope of work for Ka Wing is given under Section G. The productive exchange of knowledge and expertise between the EVS volunteer and local communities will be facilitated. The EVS volunteer will assist the target groups in developing and enhancing educational and other social projects. The volunteer may implement his own project(s) to bring the special benefit to target groups. As a result it is expected that the level of understanding of international opportunities, the intercultural understanding of local young people, their desire to participate in volunteering and lifelong learning opportunities shall all increase. It is also hoped that there will be an increase in the amount of young people taking part in such activities, leading to an increase in the skills and experience, their intercultural competences, understanding of their role as active citizens and their participation in the democratic lives of their communities. This project will also create a new partnership that will allow each organisation to learn and benefit from the inter-cultural dialogue for their own local and national activities along with creating innovative thought processes and agendas for the future of International humanitarian efforts.
