We will focus on the different geographic origin of volunteers involved to develop solidarity and promote active citizenship and mutual understanding among the volunteers themselves and also in the local community.The volunteer doesn’t have to be involved in all these activities(unless they wish so), it will depend of the motivation of the volunteer and the need of volunteers in each activity along the project.We believe the role of the EVS volunteer in ROs is an active one.they are directly involved in planned activities in its different stages(preparation,development,monitoring and implementation). Also, a strong accent is being put on stimulating the EVS volunteers’ own initiatives and on the importance of personalizing their actions.
