The European Union through the “Youth in Action” program supports any initiative of non-formal education for young people through an international voluntary service, involving directly and actively young people in social activities.

The objective of the European Voluntary Service consists of three fundamental principles:

to OFFER to young people an experience of non-formal learning, by facilitating their social integration and their active participation in improving their employability and giving them the opportunity to show solidarity;

to CONTRIBUTE to the development of local communities;

to ENCOURAGE the establishment of new partnerships and the exchange of experiences and good practices between partners

EVS is a great non-formal education experience, it is a chance to learn how to deal in foreign countries, to cope with an unknown environment, to study other languages, to discover together with other volunteers different cultures.

To give and to get, and this during the whole time of an EVS project, and once it is finished, it time to multiply the effect.
