Movit, the Slovenian national Erasmus+ agency responsible for the field of youth, organised between October 11 and 13 a training for coordinators of the European Voluntary Service (EVS). The training, which was held in Fiesa, Slovenia, was attended also by representative of European University Sports Association (EUSA) and its institute.

Andrej Pisl, EUSA Communications and Projects Manager, who is also responsible for EVS volunteers in the organisation, attended the event, which aim was to raise quality of the organisations and services these organisations provide in relations to EVS projects.



The three days were structured in a way that enabled intensive debates about the challenges and practices which organisations, accredited to run EVS projects are facing.



Emphasis was also given to exchange of opinions and examples of good practice, as well as to personal growth and learning from each other. The training was attended by representatives of over 30 organisations, as well as representatives of Movit and the trainers.



EUSA has been accredited as a hosting, sending and coordinating organisation for European Voluntary Service (EVS) programme since 2012, and is now running them through the EUSA Institute.



The Youth mobility activities are funded through the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union, enabling young people from Europe and programme countries to develop their sense of solidarity by participating in non-profit, unpaid voluntary activities abroad.

Next call for EVS volunteers in EUSA will be published in January 2018.
