Non-formal learning refers to the learning outside formal educational curriculum and involves people on a voluntary basis aiming to foster the participants' personal, social and professional development. Informal learning refers to the learning by doing in daily life activities, in work, family, leisure, etc. (youth and leisure initiatives, in peer group and voluntary activities, etc.) Non-formal and informal learning activities within the Youth in Action Programme are complementary to the formal education and training system. They have a participative and learner-centred approach, are carried out on a voluntary basis and are therefore closely linked to young people's needs, aspirations and interests. Every person who has taken part in a Youth in Action project
under Action 1.1, Action 1.2, Action 3.1 (Youth Exchanges and Training Courses), Action 2, and Action 4.3 (Training Courses) is entitled to receive a Youthpass Certificate, which describes and validates the non-formal and informal learning experience and outcomes acquired during the project. Anti-discrimination is a core element of the Youth in Action Programme. The Programme should be accessible to all young people without any form of discrimination on grounds of gender, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability or sexual orientation. The Youth in Action Programme promotes multilingualism, helps to create a society that makes the most of linguistic diversity, and encourages citizens to learn foreign languages, brings young people of different nationalities and different languages together and gives them the opportunity to participate in activities abroad. Although Youth in Action is not a linguistic Programme, it is nevertheless a non-formal learning Programme which gives young people the opportunity to become acquainted with other languages and cultures. If you are a young person aged between 13 and 30 years old (or 18-30 for some programmes) or somebody active in youth work or youth organisations legally resident in one of the Programme or Partner Countries, you can be a participant of a Youth in Action project, depending on the Action and sub-Action concerned. (if your project involves non-European Union countries you may need to check visa requirements)

Action 2: European Voluntary Service The European Voluntary Service (EVS) provides young Europeans with the unique chance to express their personal commitment through unpaid and full-time voluntary activities in a foreign country within or outside the EU. In this way, it seeks to develop solidarity, mutual understanding and tolerance among young people, thus contributing to reinforcing social cohesion in the European Union and to promoting young people's active citizenship.
Open to all young people aged 18 to 30 who are willing to spend from 2 up to 12 months (or a minimum of 2 weeks for young people with fewer opportunities and groups of 10 or more volunteers) abroad as EVS volunteers, EVS is a true ‘learning service’. Beyond benefiting the local communities, by participating in voluntary activities, young volunteers can develop new skills and, therefore, improve their personal, educational and professional development. Volunteers can benefit from specific training throughout the activity and agree on their expected learning outcomes, processes and methods in advance. Their learning experience is formally recognised through a Youthpass (https://www.youthpass.eu/ en/youthpass/) (a recognition strategy that enables participants in the Youth in Action Programme to receive a certificate describing and validating their non-formal learning experience). Participation is free for the volunteers (except for a possible contribution of a maximum of 10% of the travel costs) who also get board and lodging, insurance cover and an allowance for the duration of the project. Special conditions apply to encourage the participation of young people with fewer opportunities and those from less-privileged backgrounds. The European Voluntary Service spans a wide range of areas, such as culture, youth, sports, social care, cultural heritage, the arts, civil protection, the environment, development co-operation, etc. One thing all the activities have in common is a clear European and intercultural learning dimension. EVS is a mutually beneficial process, where everybody gains from getting to know the other's culture.
http://europa.eu/youth/your_rights/ index_he_en.html
EVS must: • take place in a country other then volunteer's country of residence • be unpaid and non-profit making • last between 2 and 12 months (except for young people with fewer opportunities and large groups) • represent a clear European or international added value • benefit the community • NOT involve job substitution !

The column of EVS coordinator
The column of EVS mentor
A successful EVS project requires close co-operation among at least 3 key players: a sending organisation (SO), a host organisation (HO) and the volunteer. One of the organisations involved in this partnership also plays the role of coordinating organisation (CO) and applies for an EU grant on behalf of the partnership. Organisations perform a number of roles: they identify volunteering opportunities and develop projects that benefit the local community. They also recruit and prepare the volunteers, host them, and ensure follow-up. EVS activities can be carried out both individually or in group. Up to 30 volunteers can now participate in the same EVS project!
The host organisation (HO) is responsible to assign a mentor for the volunteers for the entire duration of their programme. The role of the mentor is significant since she/he provides the volunteers with a personal support and encouragement, and is practically the link between the HO and the volunteers. In particular, the mentor:
A focal point in the smooth running of each project of the European Voluntary Service (EVS) is the role of the coordinating organisation (CO) since its responsible undertakes the financial and administrative responsibility for the whole project towards the National Agency.

• supports
and encourages the volunteers through weekly group and individual meetings on issues concerning their daily activity within the programme • discusses and helps the volunteers to appoint the educative objectives of their individual activities (nonformal learning) • participates together with the volunteers in the organisation and the preparation of the activities according to their interests and skills • strengthens and promotes the undertaking of responsibilities and initiatives by the volunteers in order to develop new activities and innovative ideas for the programme’s enrichment • organises group meetings for the enhancement and the development of the feeling of belonging and of the actions as a group with an emphasis on the intercultural diversity • gathers and discusses the volunteers’ monthly reports (evaluation reports), with each one of them • organises weekly individual meetings aiming at supporting and developing Youthpass process (discussion, guidance in relation to the key elements) and at the enhancement of their personal projects • provides the volunteers, if necessary, with group and individual sessions of psychological support and counselling whenever personal problems occur, or relationship problems with the volunteers’ group and/ or with the target group, adaptation problems to the new framework, cooperation issues with the HO • organises and coordinates with the volunteers the actions for the programme’s promotion and for the projection of the volunteers’ actions (interviews in the local press/media, newsletters, projection on networks such as Facebook, events, exhibitions, etc.) • Provides support for daily living issues (acquaintance with the city, with the social and cultural institutions, networking in emergency communication, Telreporting entities) • provides the volunteers with support for their daily living issues (acquaintance with the city, with the social and cultural institutions, networking in emergency cases, contact telephone numbers, reference persons) • provides the volunteers with services to public institutions (hospitals, doctors, social-municipal services for their visa renewal procedure) • supports each volunteer for the process of their preparation for their programme’s termination (completion of the Youthpass process, of their personal project, of their personal report)

Tips for volunteers
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF EUROPEAN VOLUNTARY SERVICE (E.V.S.)? • Enhance the European and international dimension of your work • Help young people's development by exposing them to another culture • Increase the intercultural learning of your organisation and the local community
EUROPEAN VOLUNTARY SERVICE (E.V.S.) IS NOT: • A paid job, it must not replace paid jobs • A recreation or tourist activity • An internship in an enterprise • A period of study or vocational training abroad
HOW TO GET INVOLVED? ACCREDITATION All organisations must be accredited as a hosting or a sending organisation before they can participate in EVS. To get involved organisations will need to download and complete an Expression of Interest form from the National Agency, which mainly contains the general motivation and ideas of the promoter regarding EVS activities. Accreditation ensures common quality standards. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA All EVS organisations must be non-profit-making ROLE OF ORGANISATIONS Sending Organisations: Support young people before, during, and after their EVS placement Hosting Organisations: They should offer a clearly defined role for the volunteer, with a variety of tasks and (nonformal) learning opportunities. An EVS placement is a period of full-time volunteering (35 hours a week) for between 2 and 12 months. PARTNERSHIP EVS is undertaken as a partnership between the host and sending organisation as well as the volunteer. Good partnership working is essential for a successful EVS project. All organisations and volunteers must adhere to the EVS Charter HOW IS EVS FUNDED? Grants are awarded by National Agencies on behalf of the European Commission to organisations to fund volunteers to carry out EVS projects. Set rates are paid for accommodation, sending costs, and volunteer's allowances by country. Travel costs from the volunteer's home to the venue (one return ticket) are covered (with a contribution of 10% by the volunteer for the whole ticket’s amount). INCLUSION OF YOUNG PEOPLE WITH FEWER OPPORTUNITIES One of the key principles of the EVS is the inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities. In this case an extra funding is being provided. Volunteers who are not able to undertake a long-term EVS placement over two months can undertake an EVS placement for a shorter amount of time, between two weeks and two months.. YOUTHPASS Recognition strategy that enables participants in the Youth in Action Programme to receive a certificate describing and validating their non-formal learning experience
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS? • Gain confidence and independence • Experience a different culture • Learn new skills and develop competencies • Contribute to the local host community • Enhance employability (Youthpass certificate on completion) HOW MUCH IT WILL COST? It is free. There is no cost to the volunteer at any stage. Travel (you may only need to cover a 10% of your travel costs), accommodation, food and insurance are all covered by a European grant. You will even receive a small personal allowance each month ARE THERE ANY QUALIFICATIONS NEEDED? No. There are no qualification requirements. HOW TO GET STARTED AND BECOME AN EVS VOLUNTEER? Step 1: Find a sending organisation You will need to register with an accredited EVS sending organisation within your country. They will help prepare you for your EVS experience and will support you while you are abroad. You should contact a sending organisation near you. Please note that from the time of registering with a sending organisation it will take some time before you can start your EVS placement Step 2: Choose a host project What would I like to do? Where would I like to go? There is a huge range of EVS placements across Europe and beyond. Project themes include: Youth, sport, culture, social care, environment and more. Think about what interests and motivates you before you contact host organisations. It will help you, if you are as open-minded as possible!
