The main aim of the course is to promote active participation of young people to the socio-political
life of their community through voluntarism. The Tc will provide participants with information and
tools to its promotion and at the same time illustrate the YIA Program and EVS contributing to the
creation of a European identity in all countries joining the Tc. The program will explore subjects
such as: citizenship, role of young women and men today in Europe, how to support youngsters in
their personal growth, how to recruit, train and work with local and European volunteers etc.
The methodology will be based on non formal education approach and experiential learning cycle.
We will explore the differences and similarities between formal and non formal education in relation
to active participation and voluntary service.
