Our Short EVS "Afbreken en Opvouwen" program is addressed mainly to vulnerable young people. Through non-formal education we aim to offer to 14 young Dutch participants from 16-22 years old the opportunity to participate in a short EVS program in Portugal for 2 weeks (1st October -14th October). Our program involves the following topics: voluntary work, social inclusion, cultural diversity, personal development, outdoor sport activities, healthy life style, solidarity, strong awareness about environment and sustainability.Our program fully aligns with KA1 by providing mobility, being able to discover another country, its culture, its traditions and way of living, to empower solidarity and conscious living among them and hopefully to provide personal development and motivation in their lives.
