EUROASIA Project – YESD Authentic Responsible Tours

EUROASIA PROJECT – VOLUNTEERING ASSISTANCE PROGRAME

Under Erasmus+ framework

More details here: http://euroasia.mladiinfo.sk/activities/partners/

Capacity building program that creates opportunities for the young people to volunteer in Asian countries in innovative socially-driven projects and for the organisations to develop and deepen their knowledge and experiences in the volunteering management.

EuroAsia Volunteering Assistance Programme is the name of a project that indicates a completely new beginning. For the first time ever, we are expanding our horizons and making a connection to Southeast Asia countries. Together with our European partner organizations from Slovakia, France and Czech Republic, we decided that now is the perfect moment to start a project with countries from Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand) and enable the sharing of good practices and voluntary services. Included in this project are some non-formal education training for capacity building of the youth organizations staff with necessary skills and capacities, as well as a list of crucial requirements that need to be met for hosting and sending volunteers in Asia.
