Program: Erasmus +, mobility of persons based on learning (KA1), YOUTH MOBILITYProject title: PRIMATE KEEPER OF PRIMATES IN CAPTIVITY, project duration: 12 monthsActivity: from 5th of September-2016 to 2nd of May 2017Our project offers the possibility to gain practical experience in the field of being primate keeper of primates in cptivity . Especially students who need the possibility to apply theoretical knowledge after finishing their studies and people who find themselves in a situation of prolonged unemployment can be involved in a project where they can develop their skills and acquire new ones that could be useful to them in future job applications.Activities and benefits throughout the Project:Working outdoors; development on a personal level; learning two languages; enhancing personal skills; establishing relations with volunteers with a different socio-cultural background; believing, working and fighting for a common cause (Primate and biodiversity conservation and fight for a better world). They will establish an active role in society and eventually they will get to understand and acquire empathy towards disadvantaged and/or abused humans and nonhuman animals, as well as learn to cooperate with others and to work as a Team, gaining skills to improve their chances to work in professional organisations.The partner organizations WILD FUTURES, from England, BEIT BEN YEHUDA, from Israel and CONCORDIA from France, will participate on this Project. The three organizations have very much experience on international volunteer projects, education and supporting youth and community development. Therefore none of the three have much more experience than us on Erasmus + Program. Our objectives, actions and needs related to this Program and the Project are:-Providing a chance in professional development, training and gaining experience to young people participating as volunteers.-Offering an opportunity for people with a disadvantage due to lacking financial assistance, who otherwise could never engage in such a long-term experience.-Promoting the exchange of volunteers from other countries, offering a cultural, linguistic and on a personal level enriching experiences.-Improving the capabilities and skills of young people, because we believe that the future generations should have a greater social and environmental commitment in order to respect and protect the environment.-Helping the participants to grow as individuals.- Improving cooperation between countries and organizations- Young participants will play an active role in the implementation of the tasks listed or proposed in this project. We wish to stimulate our volunteers and give them the possibility to work creatively in the development of the different activities. After the experience they are supposed to play an active role in society and keep promoting the Program. In short, we want volunteers to feel comfortable, confident, motivated and proud to belong to the Project.The three Activities planned as part of this Project are: To receive three long-term volunteer staying 12 months under the European Volunteer service. The main objective on the Program is to encourage the exchange between young people and provide them with a training possibility or a non-formal training under a Project about the impact on the environment. For this Project we have chosen the following volunteers:Activity 1- SAMANTHA WILKINSON, English women of 23rd years oldActivity 2- ASSAF CHIPROUT, Israelian man of 24th years oldActivity 3- NÀDEGE COUTOLLEAU, French women of 24th years oldAs a first impact, we expect that our volunteers will have fulfilled their primary objectives, improving their language skills as well as improving their capacity, learning a new profession during their time at MONA. At the same time they will fill out and complete their Youthpass, self-evaluating its parameters which will help them as a certificate of the non-formal training. We hope they will see this time as a rewarding experience apart of the benefits and advantages provided from Erasmus + Program. The multi-cultural experience, and the non-formal training and the achieved objectives are expected to be a rewarding experience for the participants motivating them to share, promote and spread the word with friends, family and other potential volunteers.We hope to create an impact and spread the word about the Project throughout the public, promoting it to visitors at the centre, supporters of MONA and all followers and subscribers via mailing and social media networks.We expect also believe on the “mouth to mouth communication”, from the participants and other volunteers who will explain to family, friends, visitors and students who are not yet part of the Project, where could result future participants.We will publish and promote the Program in the media, presenting as well the logo Erasmus+ on our Education Room.
