Start date: Aug 1, 2015, End date: Nov 30, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

In the EVS project under the name Keep up the good work we will host two volunteers in a small city Litija. The biggest problem, which has been observed in recent years in our local environment is a big youth unemployment and a large proportion of early school leavers, most of them on the secondary stage, so they don't even get to the tertiary level of education, let alone to the finish. With this project we will enable professional achievement and strengthening core competencies and skills necessary for successful performance on the job market for both volunteers. Through a variety of activities that volunteers will prepare and lead they will: - Strengthen and improve communication in a foreign language and English language skills - Upgrade the skills of computer programs (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweawer, Premier, ...) - Acquired and improved knowledge of the organization of various events - Will enhance knowledge in connection with their formal education - They will strengthened their social competence through leading and preparing different workshops - Throughout life and work abroad they will realize significant cultural differences and similarities between their home country and Slovenia - Will enhance knowledge in the field of inter cultural cooperation - They will learn to work with large and small groups of young people and thus discovered and studied the rules of group dynamics They will be dealing with two different areas, namely, the first volunteer will for the most part dealt with the preparation and implementation of various workshops, roundtables, lectures, talk evenings, etc., Which are thematically focused in the areas of motivation of young people for the continuation and completion of schooling, youth employment, setting goals and ways to achieve them, vocational guidance of young people, self-assessment, communication, etc ... this is intended to motivate young people to finish school or to continue and upgrade theirs education.
