Description
CESPOM Center of Social Assistance to Youth opened a call for applications for young people to participate in a European Voluntary Service (EU Youth in Action program) project in Lučenec, Slovakia. The 12 months lasting project offers diverse learning and service opportunities including national and international seminars. The project gives an opportunity to the volunteer to live and engage in the local community and projects in Lučenec in the time until August 2014.
The project aims to encourage mobility of young Europeans, intercultural learning and promote non-formal education as an effective way of learning and gaining new skills.
The Center of Social Assistance to Youth has applied for an EVS project. The length of the project is 12 months in which 2 volunteers will take a part. Through activities in the community centre, we will provide informal intercultural education, opportunity to gain experience and necessary skills for the future professional life of our volunteers. By their work, the volunteers will support the development of local communities. They will mainly dedicate their work to young people originated from a social disadvantaged environment – Slovaks, Hungarians, Roma.
