The EVS project "Start. Run. Grow" involves sending a volunteer from Macedonia to Ukraine and from Ukraine to Macedonia and is the result of cooperation between the NGOs SFERA (Macedonia) and Center for European Initiatives (Ukraine). The project activities will take place in the cities of Sumy and Bitola over the period of 6 months (01/11/2015-30/04/2016). The primary objective is to provide the volunteers with the opportunity to learn basic entrepreneur skills, active citizenship, inclusion and participation, as well as acquire sense of being non-formal ambassadors of the EU abroad. This project was also designed to help both organizations become more institutionally sustainable and Europe-oriented during the hard times of the country transformation by introducing social entrepreneurship initiatives for the organization and the local community. Moreover, we hope to continue developing solidarity and cross border relationships between the youth of both countries. Together we will learn to celebrate the broad diversity that exists in Europe, and help to strengthen the way to a larger, more encompassing European Union. The planned activities include helping the organization with existing social enterprise activities such as organizing movie screening, language classes, concerts, fairs, presentation, workshops, exhibitions etc; support and administration of language courses and language camps of CEI; development of the local artisans online shop; search for investment opportunities for the organization and the local community; PR-events for the organization, support of the organization's website and sarting volunteer's own social entrepreneurship initiatives. Planned Methods: project design, management and implementation; workshops on EU issues; facilitating shared information and collaboration between organizations; conducting native language clubs; development of future EVS opportunities for Ukrainian youth. The project envisages gaining new skills and knowledges by the volunteers which will help increase their chances at the labour market and provide good opportunities for career growth - and thus contribute to the development of their own country upon their return.
