Call for partners for an EVS in Athens

The proposed project includes the implementation of a European voluntary service in which 4 young people will come for one year in Athens and will voluntarily contribute to the activities and initiatives organized by our organization for the defense of human rights, fighting xenophobia, strengthening and ensuring equal opportunities for immigrants and refugees.
As part of these activities and the effort of our organization to spread the spirit of volunteerism we decided to enrich our voluntary group with young people from other countries and thus to create a multicultural team.
The project aims to contribute in fighting discriminations and stereotypes based on linguistic, national and cultural diversity on one hand and in fighting social isolation and exclusion in order to enhance social cohesion on the other hand. Moreover, it aims to promote the ideas of multiculturalism and tolerance of diversity and to inspire solidarity for the facilitation of social cooperation. Furthermore, it aims to contribute in the development of immigrants’ skills so that they have more opportunities of employment.
At the same time, as far as it concerns the volunteers, the project aims to develop their social consciousness and to encourage them to participate actively in finding solutions of serous social issues, to help them comprehend the European citizenship and to gain personal, social and practical skills (new ways of learning, communicational skills, creativity, sobriety etc) and stepping stones in order to increase their employment opportunities.
The project includes, among others, the following activities:
• Strengthening of immigrants’ social integration through organizing and implementing recreational activities for children coming from third countries.
• Organizing intercultural events promoting intercultural cooperation and activities of linguistic support to immigrants and refugees
• Exploration of good practices that promote multiculturalism and challenge discriminations.
• Promoting volunteering and EVS.
• Communicate and organize meetings with other NGOs and migrant organizations for networking and promotion of CIVIS PLUS' actions.
• Disseminate and communicate the organization’s activities
