Your Chance
Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: May 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project called „Your Chance” is an EVS project organised by „The House of Children and Youth of the Capital Prague“ in the Czech Republic and was planned for two volunteers with fewer opportunities, one coming from Spain and one from Poland. The project is sequel of previous EVS projects carried out in the organisation, however this time we focused on work with young people with fewer opportunities, who took part in the project in the role of volunteers. Volunteers were a part of everyday-life in our organisation, they helped us in regular courses and free-time activities we run, as well as with organising occasional events and assisting in pre-school centres and summer camps. Each volunteer worked in a different department and was given specific work which corresponded to his preferences and professional ambitions during his one-year stay in The Czech Republic. These two departments are Station of scientists (a free time center specialised in animal care and gardening) and Station of technicians (a free time center specialised in technical disciplines, art and dance). Methods of non-formal education were used during the project (mainly self-reflection and evaluation). The project´s main goal was to help 2 young people with fewer possibilities get new life experience, develop their skills and competencies and gain independence. From long-term point of view, the participants themselves were the target group who could most benefit from the project. Beside that, the project had an impact also on employees of our organisation who cooperated with volunteers and also clients who met them during their regular or occasional acitivities.
