The Toolkit was created during the short term EVS project Free Waves,which took place in Ommen, Netherlands between Spring-Summer 2016.Project was organized by Olde Vechte Foundation.It is an educational tool for working with young people in EVS programs.
This ToolKit was created during the short term EVS project Free Waves for and by volunteers. Its purpose is to:
• build team spirit
• get to know each other better through practical activities using different
methods
• provide opportunity to learn practical skills (riding a bike, cooking food,shopping independently, managing budget, etc.)
• living in unknown environment and different culture
• develop communication skills
The activities of the toolkit were designed mainly by volunteers while volunteer mentors for the group were supporting the workshops with facilitation and logistics. Activities were divided in weeks. The first week was designed to introduce volunteers with new environment, local community and their new home for the following
months. In the following weeks, there were 2 activities per week.
In the first week volunteers were introduced of concept of informal learning and workshops, since for most of them this was their first time experiencing non-formal education. Though, after the first week of introduction and practice, volunteers took strong initiative in creating their own learning and fulfilling EVS experience.
The Toolkit contains:
- Introduction of the Project
- Introductory Workshops (name games, team-building, getting to know each other)
- Other Activities (sports, language, art & movement, volunteering & EVS, Media, Personal Development)
- Closing & Evaluation activities
- Summary of the project
