SVČ Lužánky has been EVS receiving and sending organization since 2006. Volunteers from abroad have significantly affected the character of work with unorganized youth, the form of programs for schools and public events. More and more often they participate in regular activities. Project of EVS hosting in SVČ Lužánky is based on regular contact of volunteers with children and youth, creating space for interpersonal exchange. Volunteers come to Lužánky at the beginning of the school year and usually stay 12 months, so they have a chance to explore the nature of our work throughout the year (regular activities and suburban camps and camps during the holidays). Based on the evaluation of the past projects we have decided to strengthen cooperation between EVS volunteers (working on common projects in various stages of residence) and to continue with the activities offering opportunities for informal learning (regular activities with children and youth, work in a team with Czech volunteers on bigger projects, regular meetings and common activities of all personnel involved in the EVS). We believe that the contact of young people in the clubs with volunteers from abroad is broadening their horizons, strengthening the sense of belonging, leading to intercultural understanding and contributing to the elimination of racism and xenophobia in the local community . The prevention of these phenomena beyond local community is one of the goals of other activities volunteers are involved in - educational programs for schools, festival One World etc. Our volunteers often work with children and young people with fewer opportunities who attend our youth clubs. Part of the activities in Lyska - Centre of Leisure Time is running a youth club in house for socially excluded families. The project EVS IN LUZANKY: EXPLORE - MAKE VISIBLE - SUPPORT involved five European Voluntary Service volunteers aged 18-30 years in SVČ Lužánky. Young people from Croatia, Germany, Scotland and Spain participated from October 2014 to September 2015 in the activities of the host organization. Individually in different workplaces they joined activities of various kinds - from the artistic classes and children's circus through educational programs for schools to open youth clubs. The role of the volunteers was to become familiar with our activities, assist our teachers and keep in touch with young people from among our clients to participate in the open atmosphere, introduce them their culture and to motivate them, to show initiative and cooperation. Project objectives were aimed at two levels: Volunteers were encouraged in exploring their own potential and scope for professional and personal growth, they have set their educational goals which they met through activities in SVČ Lužánky. In addition, they participated in commmon projects dealing with social issues, volunteering and innovation. They have presented them to the public along with examples of good practice from their home countries. The project objectives were achieved by cooperation between volunteers and their colleagues from the staff, Czech volunteers and young people. Volunteers were guided by experienced intern worker who spent with them the most of the working time (so called tutor) and helped them with work related tasks. For project monitoring and evaluation of learning process we established regular meetings with the EVS coordinator and the evaluation meetings of all staff involved in the EVS project. Project EVS IN LUZANKY: EXPLORE - MAKE VISIBLE - SUPPORT provided opportunities for personal development and the improvement of practical skills of five volunteers. They improved their chances in the labor market and encreased the potential of their self- initiative.
