During their EVS, they will experience a difference in their life, gain skills through non-formal educaation, or in many cases also lead non-formal educational activities to others. This will greatly contibute to the empowerment process of the young people. We would like to connect local and international volunteers very active way to cooperate on fulfilling of aims of the projectKERIC will send:1 volunteer to Portugal for 6 months 1 volunteer to Italy for 6 months KERIC will host 2 volunteers from Poland for 2 months 1 volunteer from France, 1 from Austria, 1 from Italy for 11 months We know all our partner organisations and build on their experience in support to volunteers, especially to volunteers with fewer opportunities. During the voluntary service, the young people will gain intercultural experience, raise European awareness and fight against prejudice against foreigners. The project will contribute to personal and proffessional development of the volunteers with the aim to find a job in the future as well as help the people from local communities to become more open and tolerant towards foreigners, people anyhow different from them.
