Urban Outdoors: Youth Re:claiming Cities
Start date: Dec 1, 2013,

The objective of this EVS project is to provide 2 young people with opportunity for a year of learning through voluntary work, personal development, exploring of various topics in field of youth work and environmental and outdoor education, the Czech culture, working towards their own learning goals, new experiences and abilities. The project will culminate with volunteers developing their own projects, such as informational or educational campaigns.The themes of the project are youth media and information, outdoor sports, urban outdoors, healthy sustainable lifestyles and environmental education.The volunteers will perform their voluntary service in the office of International Young Naturefriends in Prague and may occasionally travel to activities abroad. This is a group EVS project, hosting 2 EVS volunteers for a 12 months long service. The sending organizations and volunteers are from Ireland and Russia and the hosting organization is based in Czech Republic.In this project we will combine IYNF experience in hosting EVS volunteers with the needs and interests of the two volunteers that we will host. The project will positively contribute to development of those two young people, while being beneficial to IYNF as an organization.One of the main educational methods of non-formal education used in IYNF is offering ‘learning-by-doing experiences’. Volunteers will be able to try out things and make mistakes in a safe environment, where the tasks they are trusted with are treated as a learning opportunity for a volunteer rather than their responsibilities. The staff of the organization sets the direction of the project, provides tools, knowledge, support and resources for it and gives the volunteers space and trust to learn and develop in the way that is suited to their needs. The volunteers will be involved in a meaningful, useful activity and programme and will be able to achieve important results and learning outcomes.
