Resumo: The hosting organization is now well established as a valuable support / activities organisation for the migrant worker community. We are part of the professional sector that works with and supports multiculturalism, immigration and integration, with strong links to statutory bodies and other support structures.

The local community is friendly and inviting. The local has a growing comunnity of diverse cultural communities. The city is vibrant and offers an intersting historical herritage as well as embracing modern cultural trends.
The projects will take place in the city, our main base.

What we can offer the EVS volunteers:
• The chance to work and learn in a thriving multicultural organisation. We provide a wide range of activities and services (see below), so we have a lot of varied opportunities to offer.
• The chance to run their own projects, based on personal interests or skills, or on the willingness to learn something new.
• The chance to be a valued co-worker in a volunteer-based organisation, where living in a foreign country, with all the challenges of different language and culture, is the rule and not the exception.
• the organization offers a natural inter-cultural learning environment due to its multi cultural staff and volunteer base. We have a strong focus on Anti-drsriminatory approaches as well as Ant Opressive Practice in our work.

Volunteers can learn many practical skills such as administrative and networking skills, whilst learning or improving their IT skills.
