Manual
This brochure is the result of a training titled “Training for EVS
coordinators- expansion of competences”. The manual aims to help new organizations understand the relationship between coordinating, hosting organizations and the volunteer.
With this brochure we strive to introduce the benefits of coordinating
projects, hosting volunteers and participating in such projects for volunteers.
This brochure is a guide for organizations that wish to become coordinating
organizations and also a guide for organizations that wish to get accredited and
start hosting EVS.
Tips included in the brochure are the result of a theory by the youth
workers combined with working in the field. During the training we visited
different hosting organizations and introduced them to coordinating systems
from partnering organizations. We believe that volunteers benefit the most by
carrying out their project in multiple organizations which gives them
opportunities to experience different fields and expand their competences.
EVS stands for European Voluntary Service. It is an international
volunteer program funded by the European Commission. The EVS program is
available to all young people aged between 17 to 30 years old that are legal
European residents. The program lasts between 2 to 12 months and can be
carried out in Europe and also in Africa, Asia or South America.
This brochure is the result of a training titled “Training for EVS
coordinators- expansion of competences”. The training was a part of an EVS
project titled “WE ARE ONE” and it was a secondary activity within the EVS
project. The training took place from 2.10 - 6.10.2016. In this period 12 youth
workers from Germany, Italy, Portugal and Romania visited different hosting
organizations which host EVS projects in the Zasavje region in Slovenia. One
part of the training was also devoted to visiting potential organizations that
wish to become accredited for hosting. In this period the participants also
shared different practices on how to select mentors, what is the role of the
sending organization and dissemination of results. Main part of the training the
participants were divided in to groups and discussed the work methods and
approaches to 3 different key actors involved in the EVS process in coordinating
projects. Because of the aim of the entire project we left out the roles of
sending organizations and the role of the mentor in this brochure. This
brochure is aiming at potential hosting organizations to help them understand
the basics of the relationships of coordinating organizations, hosting
organizations and the volunteer. In each given chapter the addressed will find
something for themselves.
The brochure is divided into three sections:
EVS coordinating organizations,
EVS hosting organizations and
EVS volunteers.
