Tarefas: what you can offer to volunteers in terms of Service and learning opportunities,
The Centre is engaged mainly in cultural and educational activities - it organizes and holds concerts, festivals, lessons in foreign languages, guitar, piano, accordion and other musical instruments, folk and sports dances, folk singing etc. Through their active participation in these activities the volunteers will gain knowledge of Bulgarian culture and traditions, Bulgarian language, local and national celebrations.

We will provide the volunteers with the opportunity to gain knowledge, skills and competences for personal, educational and professional development by implementing these activities in the form of informal learning.
what will be the role of EVS volunteers in the Host

Organisation,
The role of the EVS volunteers is important for the Centre as a host orgaization since this is a way to become familiar with different cultures, history, value systems and ways of life. We believe that youth in the XXI century should interact with people of different nationalities, different cultures and different religions. And volunteering is a way for the yhoung people to get information independently- information which becomes significant and interesting to them.

Volunteering awakens the desire in people to assume their responsibilities and to become an active factor in the civil society. Culture and art is an unconventional way to perceive the culture of the European peoples and diversity without xenophobic attitudes. It is our ambition not necessarily to turn the young people into actors, painters or singers, but to teach them, through culture and art, to be good people who are tolerant,value diversity and assume their resposibilities. The role of the volunteers will be to assist the everyday work in the Community Centre, to participate in its activities sharing and putting their own experience and initiative into practice. The volunteers have the opportunity to develop their own projects depending on their interests. Volunteers' work is a two-way process of mutual enrichment and cultural development of personality in individual, social, national and universal aspect. The volunteers will work for the formation of an active citizenship, critical thinking, creativity and acquiring skills for active participation of the young people in public life. Above all, the volunteers will work not only for the prosperity of the host organization, but for the whole community. The volunteers are important for our organization because by their efforts they contribute to the realization of the organization's mission.
