LIVE

The project “LIVE” is an EVS project which aims to give "space" and "voice" to the youth of
Cyprus by giving them the necessary help in order to fulfil their dreams, their projects and
their expectations. By doing this, young people will be creating a better society and a better
world in which they will live, work, express themselves, create and act with their own respected
way.
Five different EU countries will be joining the project and four (4) volunteers will be
sent to Cyprus (one from each country) in order for the project to be implemented. The duration
of the project is nine (9) months and the actual activities will last six (6) months (time
when the volunteers will be in Cyprus). The participants will be 20-30 years old, with pleasant
personalities, energetic, able to communicate and understand young people (especially
those facing fewer opportunities). They will also be capable to learn and understand new
things (theory, skills etc) and handle computers as well as social media.
The Volunteers will have the chance to design and implement several activities with
and for young people of Limassol. Those actions will reflect the needs of those people,
they will correspond to the aims of our organization and aim to help the society to improve.
Such actions might be street festivals, music and theatre festivals / workshops, non formal
and informal workshops, workshops regarding social inclusion, active participation and all
kind of actions that will help young people to be improved as individuals.
Volunteers will also be participants during the implementations of those actions, but
also they will have the space and the opportunity to lead and manage some of the activities
mentioned above. Participants (volunteers) will not fill vacant places for personnel at the
organization, but they will be acting according to the needs of the project, in cooperation
and by helping the organization's personnel, members and volunteers.
The methodology used for the implementation of this project will be the use of nonformal
and informal learning for cultivating skills, knowledge, attitudes and provide experience.

Participants will be benefited by gaining all the needed skills, attitude, knowledge,
working experience about organizing, designing and implementing projects / actions/ workshops
for young people aiming their interests, understanding their needs and including
them to the society. They will also be able to adapt in multicultural and multilingual environments,
take initiatives and fulfil projects / actions. Also, they will be able to believe on themselves,
understand their strengths and weaknesses and always try to improve themselves.
Finally, young people from Limassol will come in contact with those volunteers and
with the activities implemented and they will gain knowledge, understand the meaning of
volunteerism, its benefits to people and its contribution to the local and European society.
Through the implementation of the project, the organization, the participants, the participant
organizations and the society in general will be long-term-benefited.
The organization will gain the necessary experience, knowledge and skills in order
to be improve as a sending, hosting and coordinating organization. This kind of knowhow
will be shared with other organizations and young people that want to participate in EVS
projects.
