Description of the project and results:<\/strong><\/p>\n

With this project we wanted to face the unemployment among the young people by developing them on personal and professional level. At the end of the project the youngsters became \u00a0active citizens in their own country and a better work force on the labor market. Because their self \u2013 confidence grow and they became more aware of their abilities and stengths, they already founded or will find a proper job for them selfs.<\/p>\n

The volunteers did their service mainly in Sovata where we organize most of our outdoor programs and where we run our International Youth Center.<\/p>\n

The volunteers could develop in youth work and outdoor methodology by assisting a lot of outdoor programs for local youngsters. They tried out intellectual work, like project management and some physical work, like cooking, cleaning, renovation. They had the opportunity to participate on different trainings: training of trainers, technical trainings (climbing, belaying, water activities, expedition). They were able to visit a lot of beautiful places in Romania and participate on a lot of different cultural events.<\/p>\n

The volunteers went through an intensive self-development process being with our organization. They gained many skills:<\/p>\n

-soft skills in working with groups: facilitation and debriefing competences, group dynamics, planning, delivering and evaluating a program.<\/p>\n

– technical skills: delivering ropes course activities, kayaking, canoeing, making fire, building bivaque, orienteering, nature awareness, hiking, rock climbing, first aid.<\/p>\n

-personal skills: self-management, planning, decision-making, communication, cooperation, conflict management, initiative-taking and learning from each situation<\/p>\n

The EVS helped the volunteers to improve their English, Hungarian and Romanian language competences, to become more flexible, raise their awareness about other cultures and nations.<\/p>\n
