Resumo: The project will be carried out in a socio-cultural association of Barcelona. Our immediate environment is the Raval, one of the most intercultural neighbourhoods of the city. There are may educational and social projects aimed at integrating all the different groups of people that live together here in this area.

This organization contributes the added value of promoting youth mobility in Europe and the active participation of the young people of the neighbourhood and the city. We believe this activity is particularly interesting in this environment since it goes further than the local integration and it offers numerous opportunities for the new comers.

The volunteer will live in the same city but in independent accommodation from the beneficiaries of the hosting Project.

Perfil: Academic qualifications are not relevant for our selection. We value very positively a clear motivation, and interest in Youth EU policies. For our association it is very important that the candidate shows enough enthusiasm to allow him/her to continue developing the new capabilities in the future and to continue to promote and work in the field of active citizen participation, non formal education and intercultural learning.

Priority will be given to candidates with less mobility opportunities.

Our project is clearly outlined in the EVS database, and we constantly send information to our European partners, to circulate among their users.

We gather all the cvs that arrive through out the year for a pre-selection based on their motivation and knowledge of the project. The final decision is taken by all the members from the association.

During all the process we keep an open communication with all the candidates, explaining our reasons for not selecting them.

We welcome any kind of sending organisation as long as they are committed to giving real support to the volunteer and show interest towards their personal and professional development.
We expect likewise from the sending organisation to know their volunteers and that they present us really motivated people willing to commit themselves to our project.

Tarefas: The organization has been working with EUROPEAN PROJECTS SINCE 1999. Their International team is composed of training professionals in subjects like: intercultural relations, human rights, citizenship and active participation. We offer the volunteers all our experience in the specific training for their Project: which will involve managing and working with European Programs like Youth in Action and Leonardo.

The volunteer will attend training workshops about: the EU , the EU policies for young people, European Programs for young people, The Youth in Action Programme (EVS), The Program Leonardo da Vinci, Sócrates, F.S.E., the information service for young people, advise and guidance to young people, socio-cultural entertainment, group dynamics, consulting to organisations (public and private), working modules on intercultural relations, preparation of departing groups in mobility programs and management and funding of a non profit organisation.

The volunteer will also learn the meaning of work group and group work, as well as how to plan and implement a Project (idea, preparation, execution and evaluation) but also practical things like the use of the different instruments we work with in the association.

The volunteer will be offered a cultural program designed for him/her, in which we plan for the volunteer to take part in activities and events organised by the association and other youth organisations. In this way the volunteer will get in touch with not only the forums of citizen participation but also with the people that actually participate in these places.

At the end of their project hey will receive the certificate Youthpass-EVS.

The volunteer will support the activities to do with EVS and youth mobility in general (exchanges, Leonardo).
The mentor is in charge of the EVS volunteer and will be working side by side with him/her, allowing more independence little by little.

The volunteer is also welcome to take part in other projects of the association, depending on his/her interests, ideas and contributions. The mentor and remaining members of association will support the volunteer with the association activities and the ones related to his/her specific Project so the volunteer can integrate to the association while learning.

The volunteer will do a weekly assessment together with the mentor in relation to what he/she has learnt and of possible critical points of the cooperation. There will also be other more formal evaluations with more members form association present throughout the project.

The basic activity will be the promotion of international youth mobility projects: EVS counselling, contacting partners, dissemination of the programme; and up-date and dissemination of local activities through the web site or magazine.

The volunteer will also have time allocated for implementing activities of his/her own creation, as long as they respond to the objectives of the project and the training of the volunteer.
