EVS – Youth for Music

Our EVS-project "Youth for Music" project makes provision for entrusting one volunteer during twelve months - from January to December 2018 - with specific administrative, creative and coaching tasks - according to his/her skills and preferences - related to our activities aimed at the youth with an international or European dimension scheduled in our annual activity program, like international youth exchanges, orchestral working sessions for young musicians, concert tours of young talented European and Luxembourgish soloists.

The volunteer will be involved in the organisation of youth projects, including promotion and media coverage, communication and cooperation with foreign partners and participants; elaboration of the daily schedule of the projects; elaboration of a youth related cultural program (trips, talks, visits); promotion activities to arouse the interest of participants and public; ongoing contacts and support to help participants solve any problem before, during and after the projects; pedagogical coaching of the young participants to solve any problem and favour perfect integration into the group; pedagogical assessment of the results of the projects.

The aim of our EVS-project is to reinforce the professional knowledge of volunteers by developing some qualities and abilities which could be useful in their future professional career – notably relational, organizational and linguistic skills - in the rich and diversified surrounding of a cultural organization dedicated to the youth. The direct involvement in multicultural activities with young people will also help develop their ability to adhere to a project, to work as a team and to coach groups of young people.

For its part, our organization wants to benefit from the dynamism and the new and upcoming ideas of young volunteers in order to broaden the horizon in what concerns didactic and tutorial approaches and initiatives oriented towards youth, but also with regard to the new means of communication used by young people.
