Interestingly, the EVS allows you to discover
different cultures, the one of the country where you move but also
those of other volunteers: you’ll meet so many young people from
all over Europe during your project!!
First of all you gather during the on-arrival and mid-term training,
where you have the chance to share serious reflective as well as fun
moments. Then, during your stay and because of travelling, the
network expands and you’ll find several new friends! Consider that,
for example, in Lithuania alone there are about 200 volunteers per
year!
Moreover, if you find out that you have a lot in
common, you can join forces and organise a project together!
That’s what happened to me: I met other
volunteers from other parks of Lithuania and we decided to do
something together to “Engage people for nature”. Indeed nature
conservation is very important for us all and we realized that one
way to inspire people to protect it, is simply to let them know more about
it! So what we did is a video to talk and show about Lithuanian
nature and about volunteering. It was an amazing experience both
because of the hard team work on a common project and because of the
much fun we had.
In the end this is the
aim of the EVS,
the creation of an
intercultural network and a chance to grow by doing.
Hopefully our video will inspire you to volunteer for what you believe in and to respect and protect our wonderful nature!
