Promotion of voluntary work and EVS; organizing Volunteers´ Evaluation Meeting and other.

Taking part on the preparation and realization of our activities which are mostly based

on organizing leisure time activities for young people: We would like to involve the EVS volunteer in various activities which we organize. In the beginning we will introduce our activities to the volunteer and it will be up to him/her in which he/she will get involved. It will be chosen according to his/her abilities and skills. But we would encourage him/her to try to participate on activities on which he/she could develop and learn some new experiences and skills. The volunteer would be involved in the whole process of preparing and realizing of the activity. Of course we will help him/her; we will work in a team. We will always explain him/her our idea of how we will organize the activity and we would welcome his/her initiation and contribution with creative ideas and inputs.

We would like to involve the EVS volunteer especially in these activities:

- "tea meetings"- the EVS volunteer may contribute with ideas for the topics of these "tea meetings"; he/she may create an invitation for our volunteers; prepare the office according to the needs for the individual meeting; preparing the material for the "tea meeting"; also we would be very happy when he/she would present his/her own country, culture and ideas.

- Trainings for our volunteers- due to her/his abilities, experiences and skills we would welcome her/his participation on our trainings which we organize for our future camp leaders; on these trainings he/she may do a study session on the topics like intercultural activities or motivation, first aid…; the EVS volunteer may help us as well as a support with organization of these activities like buying material, preparation of the programme… We would welcome creativity and initiation of the volunteer.

- Organizing events in cooperation with our partner organizations- the volunteer may communicate with our partners and create the programme for the activities; prepare and help to realize the activity; promote the activity among our volunteers and motivate them to participate on this activity

· Creating his/her own project: In our project there is a space for the volunteer to create his/her own project of youth exchange financed by Youth in Action Programme. He/she may use the skills and experiences that he/she has learnt already about volunteering and youth. Content of the project would be mostly up to the interests, motivation and skills of the volunteer. It may be promoting of voluntary service or organizing free time activities for young people. The volunteer would be supported and advised on every step. We will also help him/her to evaluate the project so he/she can learn something from it.

· Administrative work: We would like the EVS volunteer to help us with some administrative work like sorting documents, copying documents and others. The volunteer could communicate with our volunteers, inform them about our activities. The communication will be through mails, phone calls and directly when the volunteers will visit us in the office. The activities will be flexible and will depend on the phase of the project. We will create a timetable for each individual volunteer due to his/her skills, abilities and wishes. In case we organize the project and the volunteer is involved in, she/he is welcome to join the whole project and to help to run the activities. In case the amount of working hours is higher than usually, the volunteer will get alternative holidays. The volunteer will be working in a team.

Practical arrangements

Board

The EVS-volunteers will receive money for food together with the pocket money at the beginning of month. They will manage money on their own, and from these finances they will also buy their food. They will prepare food by themselves. In the flat, where they will be living, there is a kitchen, which they will be able to use.

Accommodation

The EVS-volunteers will be living in an appropriately equipped flat. In the flat there are sanitary facilities and a kitchen. The volunteers will live near the city centre in a rented flat. The accommodation will be of course managed by agreement with volunteers.

Language course

The EVS-volunteers will learn Slovak language at State language school. Slovak language belongs to Slavic languages and it is really beautiful.

Holidays

Volunteers will have holidays during the project which could be used by them how they want after agreement with supervisor. They could have 2 days each month for holidays. So in the case of 11-months project it will be 22 days of holiday.
