Go for EVS! Mobilité pour les jeunes San-priots
Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project "Go for EVS! Mobilité pour les jeunes San-priots" addresses young people from 18 to 25, who live in Saint-Priest, in the suburbs of Lyon, and who are facing cultural, social and/or economic difficulties. It was developped on the fact that, at the local level, a majority of young people face following problems: low level of qualification, high unemployment rate, socio-economic fragilities, discriminative and xenophobic situations. Its main objective is to allow these young people, who are far away from all mobility programmes, to be able to have a first experience abroad, while getting involved in a voluntary project aimed at the local community. This is an opportunity to discover other languages and other cultures, to step back from their own difficulties and environment, and to think about one's place among society, one's desires and personal project. 4 young people will be able to do a short-term EVS, lasting 1 month, at the association LINK in Altamura, in Italy. Activities are planned during the summer 2014. They will cover animating summer camps for children and teenagers from the region, implementing a jazz festival in Matera, in the neighbourhood, and organising a European youth exchange. Methods of non formal education will be used during the whole project. "Go for EVS! Mobilité pour les jeunes San-priots" aims at increasing the autonomy of these young people, at allowing them to develop a stable personal and professional project. It will definitely have an impact on their personal development. Another positive impact in terms of tolerance is to be expected on the local population: indeed, by hosting volunteers, it will have an opportunity to be confronted with the Other and its own preconceived ideas. We hope that this project, on a long-term basis, will allow a fairer vision of European programmes and a higher participation of civil society as a whole to the European construction.
