The youth exchange Volunteering Saves Lives, which will be held in Črnomelj (Slovenia), will involve 36 participants and group leaders from Slovenia, Croatia, Spain, Romania, Poland and Hungary. The exchange will take place between 22th and 30th August 2016. Its main purpose is to put volunteering in the spotlight again and give it a special importance in the achievement of social and personal changes.Within the project young people will get familiar with the work of firefighters, humanitarian organizations, working with refugees and the role of each of these activities in solving social and personal problems. The main results of the project will include 75-second promotional video on volunteering, voluntary purging the deserted areas and a charity bazaar for socially disadvantaged children with special needs.An important part of the project will be the learning dimension, since the participants will learn about the impact of volunteering on their personal development and thus on increasing their employability.
