"Human Rights EVS Caravan II"" was a 2 months group EVS project, which took place in Georgia. The planned activity period is 25th of September-25th of November 2014. The project included 12 volunteers coming from Lithuania, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Croatia and Czech Republic. The objectives of the project were: - To raise awareness about Human Rights issues for Georgian general public and in particular young people both Georgian but also the participating European volunteers. -To support young people who face unemployment and/or are early school leavers to improve their career opportunities - To foster mutual understanding and inter-cultural exchange. Volunteers will approach the local community through interesting and original ideas, as well as share and exchange perspectives in order to implement different activities. - To promote EVS and Erasmus+ program and its opportunities among Georgian young people their community By this project we are planning to address relevant issues regarding human rights and raise awareness about different experiences and perspectives outside and inside Europe. We believe that all this objectives will be met by using effectively different non-formal education methods. During the project, the group of 12 EVS volunteers visited different youth clubs, schools and educational institutions in towns and regions in Georgia. During their visit, the participants have organized different workshops and activities about Human Rights , European citizenship and democratic values. The main aim was to share their knowledge on topics that volunteers have an interest in and is engaged in, and also to present a different perspective about human rights and democratic values from their countries. The volunteers will prepare themselves together with their sending organizations and gather information, prior to their departure about these values based on research and documentation. The activities took place in most of the time outdoor, prioritizing healthy lifestyle and respect of the environment, and seeking also to involve the local community, which is hosting the Caravan at the moment of the organized activities. The project was divided in three phases: 1 st phase: Preparation of traveling and activities to implement during the Caravan (Tbilisi). In this stage EVS volunteers got to know to each other and the hosting organization. They implemented several activities with volunteers of Youth Association DRONI before start conducting workshops at schools and IDP settlements in order to observe how the activities are working and how they can be improved. Mentors and local volunteers were introduced in this phase the EVS volunteers had the opportunity to express their needs and expectations. 2 nd Phase: Human Rights Caravan (Tbilisi _ IDP schools and settlements , Zugdidi, Chiatura, Bagdadi). In this phase volunteers have started to visit the Youth Clubs in Tbilisi, IDP schools, schools from 3 different the regions and have implement the planned activities (workshops, discussions, movie screenings, street actions, environmental activities...). After every work day, EVS volunteers had an evaluation to discuss the different impressions, to share what worked for them and what did not work in order to improve the workshops for day by day. 3 rd Phase: Evaluation (Tbilisi). After the main flow of Caravan, EVS volunteers evaluated the whole projects meaning the challenges, the opportunities, the learning points, negative sides and everything they felt to share.
