There was a presentation of Iceland and European Voluntary Service organized by Gibanje on Wednesday, 14 January. The meeting was for people who wanted to get more information about opportunities of volunteering and also to enjoy the story of beautiful Iceland. The first part of the presentation was about European Voluntary Service. EVS is a part of the European Union`s Erasmus+ programme. Volunteers participate in EVS through a Sending Organisation in the country where they live and a Receiving Organisation that receives and hosts them during their period of service. Projects last from 2 weeks to 12 months, and volunteer can work in a wide range of fields, such as culture, youth, sports, children, cultural heritage, arts, animal welfare, environment and development cooperation. Volunteer will receive free accommodation, food, insurance and pocket money.
After Ana Kovač told about her volunteering in Iceland and also about the peculiarities of Icelandic everyday life and showed pictures of the incredible nature of this country. Ana spent a year in Iceland and it was really unforgettable year in her life. Everybody (if you are between 17 and 30) have a chance to become an EVS volunteer and spend from 2 weeks to 12 months abroad. It`s your time! Go ahead!
