"Together for a Change” was a long-term group EVS project between seven sending organizations from France, Italy, Spain, Poland and the UK, and three host organizations in Portugal, Associação Spin, Associação Ginga Brasil Capoeira and Associação Viver Telheiras, which together hosted nine volunteers from 18 to 30 years old, mostly with fewer opportunities, for 9-12 months. The organization responsible for the coordination of the project was Spin Association. The volunteers were involved in the activities and projects developed by the hosting organizations within the frames of Art and Culture as well as Children and Elder leisure and empowerment projects. They were also able to develop and implement their own project ideas in the fields of elder, children and community work, as well as intercultural learning and dialogue. The methods used throughout the project were non-formal education methods focused on participatory and learner-centered approaches. Results include the improvement of quantity and quality of HO's work for the development and well being of Carnide's and Telheira's hosting community, with strong positive impact on all EVS participants and beneficiaries of HO's actions. In this project the volunteers had the opportunity to experience a different culture and way of living, to master many useful tools and competences in the three main fields of work, to learn about organization of social and cultural events, to improve their skills in intercultural communication and learning of Portuguese language. Therefore, young participating volunteers benefited from this mobility that provided them the opportunity to develop their social and professional skills and competences which increased the chances of finding better job opportunities and/or creating their own in the future. Importantly, this project contributed for positive change of mentalities for updated European awareness: youngsters from local community are now more sensitive to European debated issues and also aware of policies regarding youth, all through peer-to-peer transmission of knowledge in a non-formal way.
