Weaving Interrelations to Develop intercultural Education and self-Realization
Start date: Aug 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

WIDER (Weaving Interrelations to Develop intercultural Education and self-Realization) is an EVS project coordinated by InCo with the participation of 4 volunteers from 4 different countries (Belgium, Slovakia, Spain and Ukraine). Volunteers will be involved in the activities of 3 ROs to promote intercultural education and youth empowerment. Youth empowerment is intended as a broad concept targeting not only children, teenager and youngsters assisted by ROs but also the volunteers themselves. A special eye is laid on volunteers with fewer opportunities – 1 of them is in this situation. All ROs involved (InCo, Villaggio SOS di Saronno and VKE ) deal with youth empowerment with a specific focus on interculturality. Volunteers will not only support regular activities proposing own ideas but they will also be involved in parallel initiatives to promote interculturality widening local community and in particular young peoples' horizons in the different territories of the Receiving Organizations. Thus peer-to-peer contact will be stimulated boosting not only socialization, the learning outcomes but also volunteers' spirit of initiative. WIDER is expected to have positive impacts on all the actors involved. It represents both a life and a learning opportunity for volunteers who are expected to develop competences and attitudes significant for their personal growth and future job placements and who will be supported in their learning path by all partners who have already agreed on methods and roles. ROs could benefit from enriching inputs and all the other partner can have a greater impact thanks to the synergies develop with the other partners of the project. Last but not least, the users of the ROs will have the chance to weave interrelations with persons from other cultures.
