The main objective of the exchange will be to promote volunteering, all its forms and how to use it to combat youth unemployment through the experience and skills that can be acquired.
The exchange is based on the methodology of non-formal education and tries to get a great visibility both at local and European level to volunteering and its powerful means. “Youth & Volunteering” will introduce to participants, as well as to local youth, the new possibility of acquiring skills and knowledge that can help young people in their search for a job.
Among the main objectives:
-giving young people with fewer opportunities to take part in international mobility,
-to develop the knowledge and skills of the participants so as to be more competitive in the world of work, such as linguistic, social, presentation skills, etc. ,
-make all forms of volunteering known to local participants and young people,
-promote the European Solidarity Corps program,
-motivate young people to be more active and participate in volunteer projects,
-building tolerance and understanding between young people from different countries, and the ability to work in a multicultural environment.
Among the most important results, we expect this project to succeed in:
-improve the skills of the participants, in order to be more competitive in the world of work,
-promote the new European Solidarity Corps initiative and ensure that more and more young people are aware of it and have the opportunity to apply for a project,
-making young people more aware of their own means and capabilities,
-informing as many people, both locally and internationally, about the power of volunteering and how important it is.
