Auryn )outh Association has as one o$ its main ob7ectives to approach the European

reality to the youngsters o$ the city o$ L".n, to promote values such as solidarity,

commitment, interculturality understood as richness and value in a society in which

citiens $rom di$$erent backgrounds cohabitate. 'e also promote the entrepreneurial

initiative and capacity o$ young people, and to help them understand that it is inside the

local community where these values are developed and bene$it the population inside it.

(rom this point o$ view, the EVS is $ramed in our organiation, and it is in this

ob7ectives where our general interest $or hosting volunteers settles. Dur speci$ic

interest is based on o$$ering our European volunteers the possibility to be in contact

with pro7ects $or children and youngsters that will provide them training and learning

moments, and that at the same time will help them develop their own capacities, due to

the implement and development o$ their own pro7ects.

'e also want that the EVS in our association will be based on promoting that both

volunteers and youngsters o$ the association’s environement and the city o$ %eIn could

have a direct relation that will bene$it both parts, and that will suppose an intense

intercultural eperience and $ull o$ possibilities. 0romoting the knowledge o$ other

European realities through personal contact, is other o$ the positive aspects that will

• $ the volunteer knows in advance that at a particular date he2she must be

absent $or some days, he2she will have to communicate it as soon as possible

holidays, which will $orce the volunteer to organie his2her $ree time according

to the calendar o$ activities o$ the association and the volunteer’s personal

calendar. (urthermore, to avoid $uture con$licts or problems we’ll try to make
