In an increasingly global society , this project addresses the need to work actively for the eradication of prejudices and stereotypes about other cultures and nationalities and thus build a European and global citizenship of peace.
The motivation to participate in the European Voluntary Service program in which we have participate for several years , is directly connected to the mission of the Servicio Civil Internacional:
Service Civil International ( SCI ) is the Spanish branch of the officially registered international movement International Civil Service that since 1920 works for peace and understanding between peoples. The International Civil Service promotes more than 90 years volunteering fields that connect people around the world who wish to pursue a field of volunteerism and local organizations. SCI 's philosophy is that when working voluntarily with people from other cultures or other characteristics bridges cultures and stereotypes tend break. These general aims each year in sending over 300 volunteers collaborate on charitable projects around the world , offering the opportunity for an intense experience of intercultural learning. We also welcome a similar number of foreign volunteers in projects in Spain .

The EVS is a fundamental tool aimed at promoting the exchange of European and international volunteering as a tool for peace education through intercultural learning. The project objective is to bring volunteers of different nationalities and cultures to the group of volunteers from SCI , as we consider valuable learning and intercultural exchange that occurs when people from different cultures work voluntarily.

Volunteer may also adapt their activity to their motivations and interests and choose to work more actively and make distribution as time collaboration .

Thus we know that the impact of the project between our volunteers and young Spaniards with European concerns is of great importance because the SVE is a model and example to all those who come to our organization.
