07-11/06/2016 - EVS to tackle long term unemployment (Slovenia)

This is a long term activity on how to establish reciprocal international EVS partnerships, based on local partnerships between youth organizations and employment offices to encourage long term unemployed young people (aged 18-30) to get involved in EVS.

The activity will be implemented in 4 phases:
Phase 1: An international Contact making seminar/Partnership Building Activity on 7-11 June 2016 in Ljubljana, Slovenia (arrival on evening of the 7th, departures on morning of 11th)
Phase 2: Participants apply to the October 2016 deadline in Erasmus+ and start their EVS projects in January 2017.
Phase 3: From January 2017 onwards, researchers will follow the journey of EVS volunteers taking part in the project, and document the impact these projects have on their life.
Phase 4: By the end of 2017, publication of a report documenting results of the project and promoting the benefits and model to organisations and local communities.
