This coordinated EVS project had for goal to send 12 young people in 4 different hosting projects for long term and short term missions in order to give them the opportunity for to participate in an EVS project in a reassuring and well structured context with partners of good quality. These missions allowed the volunteers to develop a consciosness of solidarity and engagement in different topics and that regard different environments. They had the opportunity to bring their energy, ideas and creativity to elderly people with organizing free time activities for them, protecting the environment, develop journalism ideas connected to media, but also social activities that will correspond to the needs that the young people have noted for them to be useful. We coordinated this EVS project with two partners from the program countries - Spain and Greece. -The association GEPEC in Spain (that works with protection of nature and information about environmental issues) - hosting short and long term volunteers. SEO BIRDLIFE in Spain (Association that is working on bird protection and the sea coast) - hosting short and long term volunteers. Associacio de Voluntaris del Tarragones (AVT), Residencia « La Merce» in Spain (Residence for elderly people) - hosting long term volunteers. Praxis, Greece (Association that supportes youth engagement through media) hosting one long term volunteer. The goal is to facilitate the access of young people for these actions, more specifically, one of the most important elements of the Erasmus + program in proposing long and short term missions of volunteering which would prove to be an initiation to youth mobility for young people that have social or economic difficulties and for whom the road to mobility is not so easy. The long term missions are offered to young people that are ready for a long term engagement, more ready to leave their familiar environment for a longer period of time.
