EVS PROJECT

About the project

SUMMARY

Lélektér Foundation was accredited as an EVS delegating and hosting organization in October, 2014.

Since then, the Foundation has participated in and coordinated many successful youth exchanges in the

European Union. Our NGO has been working with youth for over 10 years. Our main goals are prevention,

harm reduction and personal development of the young. In order to fulfill these goals we are coordinating

trainings, seminars for them, their parents and for their teachers as well. We are coordinating the

professional programs of the Youth House of Veszpre msince 2014. In this project we are taking part as a

coordinating NGO, two kindergartens are receiving volunteers with our help.

We provide a supervisor, who will be responsible for the coordination and the administration of the

program; a mentor who deals with the process of induction, and supervises the volunteers, and an

EVS coordinator, who gives tasks for the volunteers and keeps in touch with the Sending

organisation on a regular basis.

Le lekte r Foundation stedho and supported 5 volunteers so far. The cooperation was very

successful for both parties.

We have been known in our field quite a while, ever since our experts participated in trainings or

youth exchanges, so clearly we cultivate good relationships with volunteer sending organisations.

The sending organisations add relevant experiences for the success of the program. That need on the part of the recieving organisations is conceived before that they are interested in

hosting EVS volunteers. This need has been vivified by this project.

As part of the project, we will coordinate volunteers during the 1 year length of the project. The

English language kindergarten will host 2 volunteer while the German language kindergarten will

host 3 volunteers between the ages of 18-30. On the part of the Foundation 4 people are working for

the success of the program. We provide a social worker in supervisory capacity, a drug preventional

expert, moreover a children and youth expert who is organizing the meeting of the partners of the

project, responsible for the coordinating tasks and taking care of giving the tasks for the colleagues. The mentor is a social expert, trainer who puts great emphasis on the social-mental caring too which

reinforces the personality of the person and focuses on stabilizing the circumstances. Also

responsible for the integration and self development of the volunteer.

The EVS coordinator is a former EVS volunteer who is a proficient English speaker and is highly

trained in the creation and development of the national and international connections. She is the

person who keeps in touch with the sending and receiving organisations and helps with the

personal affairs and problems of the volunteers. In their free-time, the local mentor helps with the

integration of the volunteers and getting to know the host city. On behalf of the kindergartens,

qualified kindergarten teachers will work with the volunteers, all of them are proficient German or

English speakers.

EVS PROJECT

On behalf of the receiving organisations, all the volunteers will work with two kindergarten

teachers at the same time, nevertheless in order to reach the goals, the leaders of the kindergarten

will take part of the helping process as well.

The five volunteers will communicate in English and German, helping the everyday lives of the

kindergartens and children. Besides the routine tasks, they will organize developing activities in

foreign language for preschool children mainly (language teaching, creative play, manipulatives,

etc.). They will popularize the Erasmus+ programs in high schools on a weekly base. Monthly, we

will organize public tea afternoons where we create the opportunity for the volunteers to meet,

exchange of experience and provide information for people who are interested in EVS.

In the selection process, we are cooperating with the Sending organisation. The selection of the

volunteers is based on professional aspects and the decision will be made while collaborating with

the Sending organization.

The project ensures the opportunity for the volunteers to develop their facilities and competences.

We support them to effectuate their own ideas, we motivate them to take part in community

activities, whereby their personal development will be ensured.

EVS PROJECT

GOALS

The project provides development of the varying competencies of the volunteers. We support them to

achieve their personal aims, motivate them to get involved in self and community development

activities by using their creativity and the gained experience.

The aim of our project is to provide the opportunity for the two mentioned kindergartens to work with

foreign volunteers who will add diversity to their programs. For the volunteers these will be great

opportunity to find situations where they can develop their facilities and to experience their self-

development.

By extension, we strongly believe that international collaborations, transmission and reception of good

practices, facilitating of common thinking, social inclusion and strengthening well-being are all

important characteristics of a well-managed project. We consider our task to help the youngsters, who

are in connection with us, in the way of becoming active, conscious citizens and expanding the person's

knowledge which is connected to his/her EU citizenship.

The expected results of the project is that the arriving volunteers will develop their personal

competences and they will mediate their personally experienced developments through the two

external programs after the arrive to their countries to their home mediums. They will popularize in

this way the EVS programs.

The connections between the partners will strengthen which includes the possibility of collaboration in

the future, which will support the exchange of the good practices, thereby they support the professional

development of all the partners. The Erasmus+ program is becoming more popular by the volunteers' external activities and by the

kindergartens' systematic press release, these serve as purposes to give news for the locals in Veszpre m

County about the Erasmus programs.

Our EVS program includes all the priorities, goals and mission of the Erasmus+ Programme.

Other important goals are to strengthen the co-operation, partnership between the participants and to

provide the development of their competencies. We support them to achieve their personal goals,

motivate them to get involved in self and community development activities by using their creativity

and their gained experience. The impact of the project is that with the help of the new experience,

knowledge they gained, they will be able to make positive changes.

YOUTH PASS
