EVS - What is that?
This morning I lay in my bed and I again thought about my future. Of course, about the EVS. In this report I have already one or the other and then came over me, the question whether it even know what it's all about. I am working now for some months and I have to disappear completely, the others are not so informed on the subject. As it was telepathy or something, then I have also just now getting a message from a reader who asked minutely. So I thought to myself: Do you provide the European Voluntary Service once before but here on the blog, so that everyone can follow and possibly even for yourself into consideration.
EVS? is the abbreviation for the European Voluntary Service. It gives young people a period abroad. He will be housed in a project that could use support.
PROJECT? The projects can be quite different. In general, there are social institutions. A home for physically / mentally disabled people, youth cafes, reception facilities for the homeless and so on. The project provides accommodation, meals and pocket money (about 100 € / month).
WHO? EVS aimed at young people aged between 18 and 25. In some cases, even 16 or 28 years old to participate. Education, race, religion, etc. are irrelevant.
WHERE? As the name suggests, the action is needed above all the European countries. However, there are exceptions that allow a stay in non-European countries. Generally, the condition that at least one country that sending or receiving country in the EU.
AS LONG? The duration of stay abroad is different. Depending on the project this can vary between 3, 6, 9 and 12 months.
WHY? There are simply the experiences one last time this accumulates. If you ask a former volunteer of his time from abroad, his eyes begin to shine. A new culture, new language, new people get to know. Responsibility and self-confidence. And And And.
HOW? If you have decided to participate in the project, you can stroll down the search for a suitable sending organization. This is necessary to clarify all the formalities. Having found these, Then you can stroll down the search for a suitable project. There is also a database on the Internet, in it are all official projects. Often there are also obtained by the sending some suggestions by e-mail. Then we have: applications and write to the respective projects schicken.Wurde you selected, then comes the sending into the game.
COST? EVS is absolutely free. It is a project of Youth in Action and is funded by the EU. Travel, insurance, language courses and seminars in the country are paid. To obtain this support, however, the sending organization shall now first submit an application. The evaluation it takes about 2-3 months. Once everything was approved, one should mentally prepare for each country: reading, language courses etc are an advantage
