La Bulgaria è uno degli ultimi paesi entrati a far parte dell’Unione Europea, ma è tra i più attiviti per quel che riguarda le offerte per lo European Voluntary Service.
Tra gli ultimi attivati nel paese balcanico c’è il progetto WINNEVS 2. Questo progetto EVS, della durata di 4 mesi, si svolgerà presso l’organizzazione non governativa IIC International Initiatives for Cooperation, che ha sede a Razlog nel sud-ovest della Bulgaria.
La ONG, con la quale YER ha collaborato in diversi progetti europei, al momento sta ospitando già volontari da Spagna, Francia, Armenia e Nepal e sta cercando un volontario italiano. Questo, oltre a seguire il programma del progetto WINNEVS 2, avrà la possibilità di organizzare dei propri workshop ed iniziative legate alle più svariate tematiche: sport, arte, lavoro sociale, ecc.
Data ultima per partire per questa esperienza di volontariato, aperta a ragazzi dai 18 ai 30 anni, è il 31 luglio 2013.
Di seguito un breve sommario del progetto, innviatoci dai responsabili dell’IIC:
The WINNEVS 2 project is a result of the cooperation and motivation of partner organisations from Armenia, Bulgaria, Germany, Egypt, Italy, Spain, Turkey and France to unite their efforts in promotion and encouraging youth voluntary activities in Programme and Partner countries, with the purpose to create preconditions for strengthening the intercultural dialogue and developing the youth policies in the region.
In the period of 4 months 8 volunteers will be actively involved in youth activities and initiatives in the town of Razlog, Bulgaria, where they will meet their cultural identity, values and perceptions and will share them with young people from the region. Volunteers will have the chance to enrich their knowledge and experience in project development and implementation on national and international level.
A training course for multipliers of significant youth topics will be introduced to the volunteers, including non-formal methods and coaching ( seminars, role plays, simulations, thematic presentations, field work, etc.). The competences obtained during the training will be transferred and implemented in their sending organisations and throughout youngsters from their own countries.
Main objectives of the project are:
1) to encourage active youth participation and to increase the capacity for personal and professional development of the volunteers; to upgrade the cooperation in the field of youth policies between European organisations and organisations from partner countries;
2) to enhance the intercultural dialogue among young people from different countries and to promote European values, which will lead to more effective social and cultural integration.
