We already selected 4 volunteers from Czech Republic, Latvia, Russia and Ukraine. We are looking for volunteers from United Kingdom, Poland and Finland.

The purpose of our EVS project is doing quality outreach youth work in order to make rural community de velopment happen in Nógrád county. We want to increase European awareness,
mobility, solidarity and employability through our activities for everyone who participates in it. The presence of the EVS-ers also serves as an example to local youth, to inspire them by their personal example to take the opportunities available by European mobility. They will increase the mobility of the local youth by being the connection between Nógrád and the EU. Through the youth work the EVSers will carry out, they will inspire youth by giving good examples of being European citizens and ready to take initiative not just at home but in Hungary as well. Their presence will bring intercultural context in the rural social life. The approach what we use is called learning by doing so we will carry out this idea throughout the whole EVS project.

LIVING CONDITIONS
The EVS volunteers will live in the bungalows, 2 or 3 volunteers will share 1 bungalow. Each bungalow has 3 beds, basic furniture (shelves, cupboard, table, chairs), its own toilet and shower. The group accomodation can take up to 40 guests. In the building of the group accomodation you can find the kitchen, dining room, common social area and the laundry room, which will be used by the EVS-ers as well. Washing machine, wireless internet, cooking equipments, bikes are provided. The EVSers will cook for themselves, the ingredients and the cooking equipments will be provided by Creative Space. When there is a programme in the house the EVSers eat together with the participants. There will be certain house rules to be kept, which all serve the legal functioning of the buildings and the centre. During the periods when the accomodation is used by groups, access to certain common areas will be limited and the rules will differ from the periods when only the EVS-ers live there.

PROJECT TIMING:
The activity will start in 1st or 7th of April and until the end of the month the main focus is to know the circumstances, the closeby high schools and primary schools and the local NGOs. We will organize activities in order to get in touch and create effective relationship with the youngsters in the region.The project the EVS coordinator and the mentor will show the reality and the possibilities of the area for the EVSers, introduce them to key persons in the villages involved, take part in local events together with them, facilitate the first encounters with local young people. During this period we will also organise an on-arrival training for the volunteers. After this period we will ask the EVS volunteers to choose their areas of interest and plan their own set of activities based on their knowledge, experience and skills. They will set their learning goals, what do they want to reach, how do they want to realize it. The necessary professional support will be provided by the EVS coordinator and the mentor. After setting the goals, the EVSers will work together as an international group, the tasks and responsibilities will be diveded by their personal learning goals and needs. During the summer the EVSers will work on different activity-areas in order to enable the local youngsters to spend their leisure time meaningful. In September, connected to the start of the schoolyear, EVS-ers will visit primary and high schools and all the locatins of their summer activity, to present their results and collect feedback on their activity. This feedback will be considered in the further improvement of the project.
