"EVENOUT – European Volunteers ENable to reach OUT disadvantaged people and youth" is an EVS project planned to take place in Sandrigo and in some surrounding towns of the Province of Vicenza –Italy– in which Cooperativa Margherita (the Receiving Organisation) runs daily care-centres for disadvantaged and/or disabled people, children and youth. It will involve 3 volunteers from Greece, Spain and Armenia for a period starting in September 2016 and lasting from 11 to 12 months. As participants, they will measure themselves performing activities in support of Margheritas’ direct beneficiaries as: minors, youth, elderly and people with disability.The volunteers will be involved in the services managed by the Cooperative, sharing daily life with the centres users. They will be guided by the Tutors in participating and managing laboratories, workshops and learning activities; but they will also share simple moments, as the lunch and free time, directly with the users.In the centres for minors, the volunteers will be an important resource to improve the quality of education, representing a good example of balance and reliability. In relation to people with physical/mental disabilities, they will collaborate within the manual laboratories and some small home-tasks, to propel their creativity and autonomy. Moreover, for the whole duration of the project, they will play an important role, since they will provide external cultural inputs in building up the daily programs and activities, sharing ideas and proposals and implementing their organizing-skills. Through the activities the Tutors will share our unique work style based on the principle of “Domiciliarity” (home-care), which means to recognize the importance of the family and the whole context within which each user has been grown up and in which he/she still lives. This, as a methodology, implies the involvement of the family in planning and developing each individual project, to allow the best combination between the fragile daily routine of the users and the surrounding society and environment.With “EVENOUT” Cooperativa Margherita wants to enhance the participation of the youth in social activities allowing the interaction of the volunteers with disadvantaged people, but it also wants to foster their proactivity. Thanks to new headquarters and enhanced possibilities, the volunteers will have the opportunity to design and contribute to the creation of brand new activities, which should allow to reach out more people (especially youth) on the territory. They will have the opportunity to create events, laboratories and workshops involving the users of the centres and the citizens. Particular attention will be devoted in giving proper answers to the needs of the territory, providing occasions for raising awareness and building occasions of active citizenship. The volunteers will experiment what it means to be part of the society in a careful and active way, getting involved into what concerns the new environment - from the Cooperative itself to the Community life.The project will affect firstly the volunteers because they will acquire new skills and competencies, learning a new language and improving their sensitivity to social issues and active citizenship. At the same time, Cooperativa Margherita will have the possibility to create new improved and modern ways of operating towards its target groups, and all the partners will also increase their capacity to operate at the EU/international level. Finally, the territory will benefit from the project because the direct users of the Cooperative as well as its local network composed by associations, private and public bodies, institutions and citizens, will have the unique possibility to enter in relation with new people and cultures and acquire a wider view of the World, knowing the European dimension. Moreover, the project will promote common European Values of tolerance, solidarity and diversity stimulating a dialogue between the local community and Europe.Within “EVENOUT” the different languages, cultures and background will be mixed together with the specific care tools volunteers will learn from the contact with the users. There will be a contamination between the style of the Cooperative and those of newcomers. Cooperativa Margherita proposes this project with an open mind toward all the parties involved, conscious of the great value of the joined path. The mutual help, that will be the core principle, means entering the network, learning, sharing experiences and offering our own abilities and inclinations to build up real places for inclusive meetings.Our biggest hope is that this EVS project will go EVEN OUT from the Cooperative itself and its network, and will be an occasion for every person involved to understand that out from our daily context there is a world, and this world outside can enrich us inside with new perspectives, experiences and values.
