The Youth Association from Transylvania organizes 4 long term EVS activities for 7 volunteers coming from Armenia, France, Georgia, Hungary and Lithuania. 3 Hungarians, Dóri, Heni and Zsuzsi and Arpine from Armania have already arrived while Ruta from Lithuania, Tamta from Georgia and Suzanne from France are arriving within the next month. The project is called Development Support for Transylvaniait is funded by the European Commission through the Youth In Action Programme and has the reference number RO-21-106-2013-R2.

The four activities that are being implemented by he volunteers are offering support to the local and regional TV studios, to offer support to the local and regional Radio stations, organizing 3 weekly recycling and upcycling workshops for 3 different generations and to offer support to ATA by doing NGO activities with the local civil sector. Beside these the volunteers will do their own projects, as a group and as part of the local community and they will also promote their project and they’ll do some work to help ATA do its projects also

These activities will give the possibility for the local community to get new perspectives and to change towards a more sustainable lifestyle, from a social, environmental and economic standpoint. Also, the volunteers will also gain new skills, competencies and attitudes which will contribute to their personal and professional success.

The volunteers use the Volunteer Logbook to plan and follow their learning and to write their self-assessment on competencies learned, which will become part of their Youthpass Certificates given to them at the end of the project. We will keep you updated about the activities and adventures of the volunteers.
