Resumo: The motivation to host volunteers from EVS is:
.- To work for the benefit of the community .
.- To promote communication between young European citizens to improve understanding and cooperation.
.- To strengthen values to unite differences.
.- To approach Europe to the young people while making them feel useful promoting participation.
.- To approach Europe to a rural environment and promote a cultural exchange with the young and the old people. This opens borders and makes people be open to proposals from outside.
Why? Because we live in a rural environment, where we are suffering an exodus of the young people to the cities, women are still in a second plane, there are few associations of any nature and the population is aged.

This is why the association is trying to improve everybody's quality of life in the following way:
- With young people and children through policies promoted from the "Youth House".
- - With the third age through a inter-generation dialog, training, etc.
- - With Europe through the presence of St Jackob's Way (El Camino de Santiago) and its significance.
- - With the volunteers as a way of acting as compromised European citizens.

The City Council of Formista wants to get the young people in touch with our community, acting as a sending, host and coordinating EVS organisation. We want to host volunteers and also give local youth in the rural environment the chance of taking our culture to other places. We believe that this is the way to create a real exchange and intercultural learning.
We try to help the volunteers we host to learn the language and Spanish culture, as to mature, and acquire personal and professional skills that will be useful for his or her future. We also get the opportunity through this initiative to establish contacts with other organisations for future exchanges.
The Council has been working with the YiA Program, since 2001. It has hosted 30 young volunteers from 13 different countries and sent 7 to 5 different countries.

Perfil: Our preference if for young people motivated to live this experience and who like the rural environment, in a small town. Willing to participate, learn and offer what they know. Social skills with children, young people and elderly are desirable. Awareness with these collectives is also necessary.

Tarefas: The volunteers will participate in some of these activities:

-Social activities in Residence for elderly peple or
-Youth activities in Youth Centre and Youth Information or

- teach or develop dishes from their country in gastronomic meetings with young people and children or when they go to the winery.

- have language talks, depending on the origin of the volunteers, and once adapted and mastering the language, volunteers may perform tasks supporting language learning.

- creating a Personal Journal and updating BLOG, in which the volunteer will be writing daily anecdotes, experiences and learning, providing photos. This will help them with their personal development and to disseminate their experience among other young people.

Volunteers participate actively in the community and provide new, enriching ideas and experiences. They bring cultures near.
