INCLUDE US - EVS Contact Making Seminar in Switzerland

What would you suggest to a new organisation when it comes to successfully organise an EVS project? And how can you support an experienced organisation to come up with new ideas? The twofold aim of the contact making seminar is to foster cooperation with Swiss organisations as well as the exchange of good practises in the field of inclusion, aiming at increasing quality and innovation in EVS. Thanks to an open encounter with Swiss organisations, participants will have the opportunity to experience the rich and varied context of volunteering and youth exchange in Switzerland, and to explore possibilities for new partnerships and projects. During the seminar, participants will be able to share knowledge on EVS and get inspired from each other’s work. The focus of the discussion will be set on inclusion projects, including an exchange on the various issues and priorities within this broad field.
