Resumo: One aim of the European Voluntary Service is to qualify and give intercultural impulses to volunteers in the field of international youth work. This means that the youth participating will learn and develop skills in the areas of project conception, running, research, organisation and evaluation through practical work. According to the statute and the working profile of the association the named international youth projects are mainly dedicated to the political, societal and social developments in Europe with emphasis on Eastern- and South Eastern Europe and the encouragement of intercultural tolerance. The focal point of the youth projects of the association is therefore the implementation of activities in the fields antiracism work, the fight against xenophobia and exclusion as well as the problems of integration and migration. She/he will gain theoretical and practical knowledge. Activities will be work in project development, running youth meetings and their evaluation. She/he should improve their social skills and team skills through shared work with the organisation's staff and other volunteers.

Perfil: A very important criteria for the selection of the volunteer is motivation and the intention to integrate into the project and into the local community. The volunteer must be open for team work and cooperation with other staff from the local hosting organisation. So we are looking for hosting motivated, communicative and creative volunteers. Gender is not important. We expect open minds and tolerance toward cultural & religious differences.Good knowledge of english is important in order to be able to communicate with the persons in our organisation & our project partners. Knowledge of some other foreign would be an advantage.

Tarefas: Following the aims and objectives of our work the volunteer will be involved in various activities according to his/her interests and preferences and needs of the organisation. Working in our organisation on the mentioned tasks, the volunteer will be able to gain and skills and knowledge in the areas such as organisation, preparation and implementation of youth activities, communication skills, knowlegde in organisation and preparation of different youth exchanges, trainings, intercultural learning and organisation and preparation of initiatives and campaigns. The basement for his/her development is the interest and motivation to work in this field and that s/he is willing to learn and improve skills and knowledge by assistance in the regular communication in order to promote projects offered by us, by assistance to interested young people helping them in selection and application procedere, by assistance in preparation and implementation of different youth exchanges, training courses and workshops organised by us, by the preparation of materials on our activities, by assistance on other programme activities of the organisation like campaigns, public events, seminars etc as well as administrative work. It would be good for the volunteer to have a solid knowledge of English, basic computer skills. Tasks will be the necessary working steps for the realisation of international youth projects.

A division of the working steps could be as follows:
The volunteer will be involved in all working steps. She/he will after discussion take on part tasks independently and at all times receive the necessary help from the organisation's staff. A fundamental part of the volunteer's work will be in the idea development for the multilateral youth project and communication with our international partners is thereby a central part of the work. From our previous experience the preferred work for the volunteer is the concept development for the youth project, the support in preparing the grant application as well as during the preparatory and running phase the organisation of establishments and institutions to be visited and the planning and realisation of the daily programme of the youth project.

Condições: At the beginning of the EVS a detailed employment agreement between MFP and/the respective volunteer, in whom the common goals, obligations and interests are determined will be made. In this way any ambiguity is to be eliminated and future frustrations has to be avoided. The volunteers are cared for during their EFD by a tutor. The Tutorin worked even as a volunteer too and therefore he/she has enough feelings for the needs and problems of the volunteer. The tutor is the first partner for the Freiwilligen in the organization.
It is also possible to serve for the volunteer a mentor from outside of the organization. The mentor should assists and help the volunteer in his interests, which the volunteer would not like to discuss with MFP directly. In regular intervals discussions between the volunteer, the Tutor and MFP taking place during whom any problems to be discussed can and will be supposed. Also MFP supports the participation of the volunteer to the preparation meeting, on arrival training, midterm seminar, intermediate, and return seminar, which are prescribed by the EVS project.

In addition to the On-Arrival Training the volunteer will receive an introduction on crisis management, what to do in an emergency and general complaints procedures will be explained to the volunteer. We are following strict guidelines regarding support and supervision requirements (e.g. health & safety) Each risk regarding the volunteer or a practical part of the project will be individually risk assessed. During the service the volunteers will have a regular contact by phone & email and internet with the project leader of their sending organisation at least one time per months. Therefore the volunteer will receive all contact details (e-mail, telephon number, post adress) of the sending organisation as well as the sending organisation will have all contact details of the volunteer in the hosting country. This is to ensure that arising problems can be discussed when they occur and problem solving actions can start immediately. In addition to the their midterm and final report of the volunteer, she/he is asked to write a monthly reports about her/his activities, integration and social elements and intercultural learning experiences abroad. The function of these reports is to get an overview of the volunteers situation. The aim is also to ensure that arising problems can be discussed when they occur and problem solving actions can start immediately. She/he will be supported by a mentor. In addition to the support around practical issues, this mentor will support the volunteer's emotional & social wellbeing. The mentor will ensure that the volunteer feels safe and secure in both their living & working environment and will also ensure that she/he knows the correct routes of problem solving and crisis management. All activities of the volunteer will be performed under the advise and supervision of the project staff of Mostar Friedensprojekt e.V.
