The "Verein für Freizeit und Bildung der Jugend" realised that young people from other countries who support the team of the youth leaders in the youth centre "Jugendzentrum Gewölbe" are very enriching for the youth work in town. They bring their own perspective of their countries and cultures give a different view to certain issues. Furthermore the youngsters who visit the youth centre have a different approach and sometimes can talk easier to people who are around their age or only a little bit older because they often can share same experiences and similar youth cultures. This project enables the volunteer to gain new expierences by living in another country, to enhance personal development by the practice in the voluntary service and its reflection and to gain new perspectives and inspiration for his future live.This project contains one activity which is an EVS in the Jugendzentrum Gewölbe in Steyr, Upper Austria. It will be one female volunteer in the age of 24 from Spain. The main activities in the EVS will be supporting the youth leaders during the opening times with cooking for and with the youngsters, playing games, creative actions like painting, making music... helping with home work and "being there" for the youngsters by giving attention and listening. Furthermore the volunteer will support the youth leaders in organising projects and enrich the youth centre with own little projects and ideas.
