The year 2006 saw the association opening its doors to a number of international volunteers, providing them with international working experience and enriching the association with a new and dynamic multicultural component. Within the European Voluntary Service, the association offers young European citizens the opportunity to complete a long-term voluntary service (from 8 months to a year, without excluding short-term programmes) in its the city office under a project called "Listen to us - Young European citizens/Aristoteles". This project aims at empowering young people therefore empowering communities at a cultural, educational and economic level. Our organization gives the opportunity to international volunteers to take part actively in several local, national, and international activities endeavouring to develop their European and International citizenship awareness, to promote Youth involvement, to sustain integration and to emphasize intercultural relations.
