How does society change? Through the course of the project volunteers will be trying to experientialy find the answer to this question and demystify the process by which an individual, group, community or an organization can become the agents of change. Social change takes place on three levels: the individual, the organization, and the system. Through out project volunteers will experiment on how civic actions in which they will shape and take part in will influence all of those three interrelated levels. The volunteering experience will introduce them to a wealth of tools available to those who seek to create social change, whether on small scale or larger change in a community/society. The tools or the skills they will learn – are entirely transferable and indispensable whether one uses them at their job or in pursuit of individual mission to better the society. The "Youth Corner for Change Agents " is a long term EVS project planned to take place over a period of 10 months from September 1st 2015 to June 30th 2016 in Zagreb, Croatia. The main objective of the project "Youth Corner for Change Agents" is to teach volunteers how different civic actions influence positive changes in coping with different issues (social, environmental, cultural, etc.).
