The organization operates every day (09:00-15:00) as a Youth Information Spot. In our office we provide information about European programs (Youth in Action, European Youth Foundation, Leonardo Da Vinci, Groundvig, Comenius et.al), programs the promote European mobility, personal development, the spirit of voluntarism and professional proficiency. Furthermore, trained volunteers provide advice on educational, personal-social and professional issues. Additionally, we provide with material about the European union and the council of Europe so that young people will come closer to the idea of the European union and they will understand the role and the purposes of its creation as well as its function, emphasizing on youth-concerning issues. Finally, the office of the organization functions as a place of free expression and communication.
Based to our statistics, our organization, as a sending one, has sent 1.700 people, between 16 to 35 years old,
to European programs, 60 people have been informed and sent to EVS programs, 3.450 have been informed about European programs and activities through personal contact or via internet and 6.000 people receive our monthly newsletter.

Balkan Hot Spot

In our place there is material on the countries of the Balkans such as books by Balkan writers and writers from eastern Europe, historic and photography albums as well as brochures from other cities, towns and regions in the Balkans. Moreover, one can also find leaflets about organizations in other countries and get access to the internet and electronic sources on Balkan related topics or even communicate with young people from all over the Balkans. A future action of this program will be to organize Balkan-languages and tradition courses and the E-Balkans whose goal is to create an electronic radio station on the internet and a newspaper online.

We also participate as partners to other
projects of organizations, based in Balkans, with whom we are stable partners in thematics mainly related to intercultural dialogue and human rights. Some of these partners are members of the Austrian National Agency s network, YouthNet, and IGLYO, a network of LGBT organizations.

The profile of our volunteers are young people, aged between 18-30, with social and financial problems and every kind of educational background. Volunteers are selected based on meritocratic criteria and without any discrmination. We follow the selection procedure below:
As we want our open call for volunteers to be easily accessible, we publicize in our official website and other European websites of EVS program an announcement saying that we are able to host and send volunteers. We also produce some radio and tv spots, informing about our EVS position and our local and international activities. The spots are uploaded to several websites and pages. After the deadline of the open call for volunteers, we carefully study every CV and motivation letter. Then we organize Skype interviews with the shortlisted candidates and finally we decide who will join the EVS program in our organization.
