Considering the present situation of Meda countries - the absence of official National Coordinators - Salto Youth EuroMed, with the financial support of some National Agencies, will cover travel costs for Meda particpants. EU candidates instead will deal with their own National Agencies for travel arrangements, while boarding-lodging costs will be covered by the hosting national structure. Last but not least Salto Youth EuroMed will take care of trainers' fees and expenses. So, we encourage MEDA candidates to submit their "online" application forms as well as the one downloadable here after to the Salto Youth EuroMed Resouce Centre charged exceptionally of the Meda participants' selection. EU candidates will simply fill in their "online" application forms!

Description

Euromed cooperation has been developing and enriching constantly since its beginning. EU and Meda countries have been bridging both sides of the Mediterranean Sea, youth organisations have been contributing to create links and to make out of this cooperation between states a reality of common projects.
Now, Euromed Youth Programme is looking at the future. A new generation of Programme is coming with Youth in Action from 2007 on. A lot of young people are eager to experience this Euromed spirit and looking forward to get an opportunity of enriching their own individual educational pathway by starting with the Odyssey of Euromed cooperation. A lot of youth organisations are looking forward to turn these individual wills into an exciting local hosting project, which could give them the opportunity to develop new projects, new ways of working.
This is the meaning of European Voluntary Service in Euromed: Making links, between individual projects of young people, and strategies of Euromed cooperation between youth organisations from 35 countries of both sides of the Mediterranena sea.
To create or to reinforce these links, SALTO Euromed and the Greek National Agency of the Youth Programme propose to you a contact-making seminar in Greece from 15th to 19th November 2006. An opportunity to meet European and Mediterranean partners in EVS, to get a common understanding of the meaning of voluntary work, to develop common sending and hosting projects, while discovering the richness of cultural and educational differences. Let's get prepared to enter the next Odyssey of the new EuroMed Youth Programme with new quality EVS projects !
