Being part of the EVS- Youth In Action Programme, the ‘Discover Your Potential by Voluntary Action’ project is a joint activity which will be organized in Belgium and Italy and which will consist of short term (2 month) EVS projects for 3 volunteers. EVS-projects aim to empower young people by providing voluntary activities in themes of Media and communication, Youth information and European Awareness. ‘Discover Your Potential by Voluntary Action’ project specifically aims to increase awareness on volunteering in NGOs, participating in Youth Programmes and empowering volunteers in discovering their own potentials, which will guide them in their future careers.
The Volunteers will have the opportunity to transfer the right skills and preferences, which they gathered in their educational life, into practice with ‘’learning by doing’’. They will improve their creativity and entrepreneurship abilities and develop intercultural communication skills by participating in, and developing their own projects and by collaborating with people from different nationalities.
The volunteers who will participate in the project are going to have the opportunity to work in Altamura, Italy in LINK non-governmental organization and will be able to work with people who are from different cultures as well as the locals in joint projects.
