Resumo: Outline the project environment for the suggested voluntary activities, including the local community where the project will take place (e.g. geographical, social and economical environment). If the host placement is located in a live-in community, please include the rules and conditions that apply also for the volunteer.

The volunteers will live and work in the town at a fully furbished lodging place with all necessary facilities. The lodging place will be near the Youth Information Centre where most of the project activities will be implemented. The towns of Kalofer and Sopot where the two Homes - for orphans and Children with special needs are located are also in close proximity and are well-connected with local transport. Apart from that town is well-connected to the bigger cities and the capital.

The Centre is in the very centre of the town in close proximity to all schools, which makes it a suitable meeting point for the youngsters who regularly visit the centre and get inolved in our projects and initiatives. That is how the volunteers are in constant with the local youth which helps them get easily adapted to living in our town.

Our projects aim at fostering youth creativity, innovation and active involvement in the activities of the Youth Information Cenre and the life of the Municipality in general. During their EVS project the volunteers working with our local youth will help children and youth from disadvantaged families, children at risk through art, music, non-formal education and different initiatives and projects to get better integrated into the society and among their peers. Apart from that our project will contribute to fighting dependencies such as drugs, alcohol and cigarettes addictions as the volunteers will develop various prevention campaigns. In their free time the local youth will be involved in our clubs - Eco Club, Club Debate and Art Club and this way they will forget about their bad habbits. The project activities will also aim at fostering tolerance and mutual understanding, fighting stereotypes and discrimination as the children from the Orphanage in Kalofer are in disadvantaged social condition, of varios ethnic background and children at risk.

The team of our oprganisation will help and support all initiatives and activities which the volunteers might wish to implement.

Perfil: Please describe the profiles of volunteers you would like to receive in your organisation. Include information on how you ensure an open and transparent recruitment process as well as the overall accessibility of EVS to all young people. Consider further information about the type of Sending Organisation you want to cooperate with. This information can help the match-making between volunteer candidates, Sending Organisations and your organisation.

We expect from the volunteers to be open minded and strongly motivated to work with the target group. The main criteria for selection will be their motivation to join the project. We also expect general knowledge in English so the volunteers can understand each other and with the project manager until they learn some Bulgarian. During their prject the volunteers will work both with professional youth workers and local youth learning from their experience. Thus they will learn team building skills and will help our organisation without substituting paid workers.
Among the main criterias under which we will select our vounteers are:
- strong motivation and desire to work with children and youth;
- fresh project ideas for stimulating the local youth activity;
- motivation to help disadvantged children and youth (such as: drop-outs, victims to violence, diviant youth and children living in social institutions);
- readiness to help for the implementation of various youth projcts and initiatives;
- responsible to themselves and the surrounding people;
- ready to share their experience and knowledge with the children and youth attending the Youth Information Centre
In order to select the best candidates for our project we will send letters to all organisatons

We will also send letters to our international partners with whom we have worked under different projects and initiatives. A research on the European database will also help us find accredited organisations with whom to partner for our project. After careful inspection fo the CVs and Motivation Letters and telephone conversations with potential candidates we will select the volunteers for our project.

We would like to partner with a serious and experienced sending organisation which has succesfully implemented EVS projects since we believe the role of the sending organisation is highly important for the preparation and psychological tuning o the volunteer.
