Sharing skills and resources to fight exclusion and precarity
Start date: Aug 15, 2013,

The EVS-Project "Sharing Skills and Resources to Fight Exclusion and Precarity" will facilitate 2 young volunteers from Spain and Slovenia to spend 12 months with EYFA in Berlin, Germany between 15/08/2013 to 31/12/2014. The project aims to empower young people to challenge precarity & economic exclusion by connecting dots between precarity and other forms of exclusion, like racism, gender privilege, homophobia & Roma rights, as well as inspiring young people to build alternative social and economic projects.Activities of the volunteers will include:- assisting in the development, coordination and the distribution of a series of 'how to' guides on how to work collaboratively to challenge economic exclusion- preparation and organisation of an initial youth meeting "Sharing Skills and Resources to Fight Exclusion and Precarity" where the content of the guides will be discussed- developing workshops and info-events about the themes collected in the guide and the meeting. This project will use a non-formal, participatory methodology, based in popular education methods. The EYFA office is organised horizontally and operates in consensus decision-making. Thus volunteers will have an equal say in the development of the project: they will take part in decisions and will have space to develop their own ideas. This will assist volunteers to get various skills through a supervised learning-by-doing process i.e. how to run a small office, organise with people from various cultural backgrounds, write and design a small guide booklet and communicate with public administrative officials from local up to European level. After the project, volunteers will have gained increased tools and confidence to start or continue to be active in challenging diverse forms of exclusion, as well as having acquired the necessary skills to organize projects in their local realities.
