Going back - moving up

We are developing a 10-month EVS project with a total of 4 European volunteers (1 girl and 1 boy from each partner) from 2 European countries.
We plan 2 preparatory months (mart-april 2018) for volunteers here in Bulgaria (in Sofia) to be included in language training in Bulgarian language (by Suggestopedia) and at least 3 specialized interactive, creative and informal methods and techniques for working with children and young people, subject to the objectives and activities of the project. When the training modules have been completed, volunteers will have 8 months (may-december 2018) of field work in small town settlements remote from administrative and economic centers. There the volunteers will be divided into pairs (girl and boy) and will be sent to the respective small settlements - Yambol and Velingrad. Тhere they will meet local children, youths and adults in local youth and cultural centers and they will work together to achieve the objectives of the project.
The main and long-term goal of the project is to promote and enhance tolerance and solidarity, empathy and dialogue, including intergenerational dialogue, to stimulate youth employment and social inclusion in remote areas by giving voice to the volunteer and non-formal education among local communities in settlements remote from large administrative and well-developed economic centers.
We include activities in the leisure time of local people so that it is implemented with appropriate and developing activities and initiatives. The volunteers will have the task to organizing and implementing activities with local children, young people and adults in interest in art, culture, creativity, crafts and others. Applicable formats will be workshops, outdoor activities, lectures, laughter yoga, techniques and practices for maintaining good physical and mental health, excursions, tours, talent evening, cooking and craft workshops, communication, seminars, excursions and others, festival ).
As a result of the project activities, the development of knowledge and skills among local children, young people and other people for employment and motivation for purposeful use of leisure time and raising the civic activity of the local community and, on the other hand, dissemination, understanding and common values freedom, respect for human rights and intergenerational dialogue. This will lead to the development of knowledge and skills among local children, young people and other people to find work and motivation for proper use of free time.
