Greece: ESC: European Volunteers Go Local

About the local hosting organization

You in Europe", founded in 2012, aims at solidarity and understanding between societies, especially in Europe. Ιt promotes volunteering as a mean of enhancing social cohesion and equality, a tool for the integration of individuals from vulnerable social groups. In this context it establishes communication networks between populations in European countries. Also, we promote volunteerism through european projects in the field of non-formal learning in cooperation with other organizations with similar aims. Since 2012, we participate as sending and hosting organization in youth exchanges and trainings and as coordinating of the formely European Voluntary Service. We have been involved in more than 220 youth exchanges and trainings, focused on interculturalism and intercultural education. Our target group is mainly young people and social groups who experience exclusion and marginalization. For this reason we use techniques and methods of the non formal learning. The preparation of the volunteers and the communication with them during their project, has given experience to our members to handle various situations.Organization's executives have been trained in SOHO seminars and we employ a former volunteer as the internal mentor. This situation and the experience we have gained since 2012, give us the required know-how for the coordination, supporting and hosting a volunteering project
