VYP - Volunteering as an engine for Young People is a group EVS with three volunteers, involving one Hosting Organization (Portugal) and three sending organisations (Turkey, FYROM and Germany). The EVS volunteers we´re placed for a 12 month period in the Southern Portuguese city of Ohão, where they had the opportunity to experience a totally different culture and way of living, to learn and experience new things, and to use the knowledge and experience gained in their country's so that they can act as a liaison between partner organisations. The volunteers we´re involved in the activities and projects developed by the Hosting Organisation and we´re encouraged to develop and implement their own projects/ ideas. MOJU was founded on the 16th October, 2007 in Olhão. Our history is closely related with volunteering, since the Association was created and is maintained mainly by volunteers. So the volunteering spirit has always been a determinant factor to our structure. With this project MOJU aims to act as a vehicle for the social inclusion of the most vulnerable youngsters of our comunity, in an active and sustainable way. We believe that youth involvement in the development of a more just and caring society is essential to increase the feeling of belonging and to promote a better quality of life for the youngsters at risk. We privileged the development of the volunteers personal skills and created learning opportunities, both based in non-formal methods, through tutoring sessions to introduce the volunteers to the organisation and to provide them with the necessary skills to carry out their tasks, with the direct contact with the community, the culture and the language. At the same time, the service of the volunteers brought a strong added-value both to MOJU and to the community in general, through the direct results of their work for and with the local youngsters and through the different points of view that they will bring.
