Since 2008 CSV has been active on the “Youth in Action” programme,
especially in Action 2: European Voluntary Service, giving support to
all the youngsters interested in doing a project abroad. CSV helps
them with finding the right project, analysing their motivations and
expectations and with all the formal issues.
CSV started by being both a coordinating and a sending
organization.
In year 2009 CSV was the
coordinating organization for a
hosting EVS project. Together with
two local voluntary organizations
we hosted 6 young volunteers
coming from different parts of
Europe such as: Portugal, Spain,
Turkey and the Russian Federation
The volunteers spent 10 months in
Vercelli, getting in touch with our culture,
traditions, language. They learned how to
deal with the activities and the
responsabilites of their work and
especially they learned how to share
spaces and habits. They all came from
different backgrounds and had different
lifestyles and this experience made them
understand a lot about themselves.
In year 2010 our first volunteer left for an EVS project in Estonia.
Angela spent 6 months in Narva, working in a kindergarden
teaching English to children and also to youngsters in the city.
Since her experience she is our most passionate EVS promoter!
On July 1st 2011 Francesca left for her EVS project in Germany. She
is spending a year in Oldenburg doing activities in schools about
music and theatre, she is an enthusiastic clarinet player! She is
really happy about the multicultural experience she is living and
keeps a blog to share all the
adventures she is living with all the
people interested in doing such a
project.
Latest update!!
Another sending project was approved!
Lara will leave for Luxembourg in February 2012 for a 10 month
project with an organization that fights poverty and hunger!
CSV main priority is to promote the programme and the EVS opportunity using different tools such as a weekly
newsletter, radio interviews, cards and meetings in schools.
Many other young potential volunteers from Vercelli but also from neighbour towns are getting interested in EVS.
CSV is glad to accompain them through the path of project searching and all the application phases.
