Resumo: Outline the project environment for the suggested voluntary Service, 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 city has a lot of culture, preserved nature area’s, lakes, woods and other attractive places.
It is a very active community who tries to entertain, support and understand the needs of its citizens.
The city is an European community with a multicultural touch.

The city is not a city but a rural community. The distance between the centre areas and the lack of good public transport is often a problem for young volunteers. To counter this we try to find a hosting family nearby a bus stop or train station, provide the volunteer with a buzzy pass, go pass and a bike.

Perfil: Our EVS project is open for all volunteers, we do not ask specific skills but expect the volunteer to have an open attitude, to be social, to be open minded.
An important aspect for a successful EVS project is good communication between volunteer, sending and hosting organisation, it is the base of a good relationship.

Several months before the final decision we contact possible candidates and ask them about their motivation. We contact them frequently by mail, chat and skype to get to know them better. Our selection is based on the contact with these volunteers. We have a selection team with 4 members – we discus the profiles of the volunteers and choose a volunteer who fits into our organisation, matches with the assignment and is willing to stay with a hosting family.
We are well aware of the fact that the candidates are volunteers so we do not think of them as employees. Everything they do in our organisation is extra, they do not replace one of our employees. If the volunteer is willing to take initiative and has a creative spirit there will be a lot of job opportunities for him/her.

We think it is very important for their own development that they use the knowledge that they pick up in our organisation to create their own projects. We hope the volunteer will share and use this knowledge en gained competences in their future life in their home country.
Age: 17-30

Tarefas: The volunteer will be working in a team of professional workers and volunteers in organizing already existing activities but will also given the opportunity to create new projects. A lot of our work involves administration and project management, we will try to avoid to much deskwork for the volunteer but it is a part of this EVS project. We believe the strength of a motivated volunteer is knowledge and job satisfaction. The volunteer will get all necessary background and information about a project before the volunteer can participate. We give the volunteer the necessary space to put creativity and contribution into the job.
For example:
• Participate with other volunteers in an art project (this is an annual event during three weeks in November) , which refers to an article of the declaration of human rights “everybody has the right to enjoy art …”. The project brings art of local artists and artist of other countries together.
• Participate with other volunteers and professionals in our project which stimulates our citizens, our local organisations, schools and traders to use, buy and sell Fair Trade products. We also try to be an example and make people aware of global warming and what to do about it.
• Participating and co- organising free-time activities and Dutch language lessons (in a playful way) for children and youngsters with different etnic background as a co-mentor on Wednesday afternoon (weekly)
• There is also the possibility according to the interests and capacities of the volunteer to set up activities and promote her/his country and its culture.
• To stimulate the talents and skills of the volunteer he/she can organise workshops, activities or projects for adults and children
