This seminar, included in the program "Youth in Action" aims to create a meeting place for the exchange of experiences between volunteers and organizations, in order to solve specific problems and pose, together, serve improvement proposals to cover expectations of all stakeholders involved in the program and enhance the reality of the way projects are ultimately satisfied each and every one of the EVS quality objectives.
Youth in Action aim to inspire a sense of active European citizenship, solidarity and tolerance among young people, and involve them in shaping the future of the European Union.
The program promotes mobility in and out of all these countries, non-formal learning, intercultural dialogue, employability and social inclusion.
Among the different actions carried out this program is the European Voluntary Service (EVS), which enables young people, aged between 18 and 30 years, a volunteer for 12 months in a country other than their residence.
