Моментот кога ќе те одберат два месеци пред да наполниш 31 година, а максимум лимит за да оствариш ЕВС е 30, е тоа е среќа со сигурност, и плус земја за волонтирање Шпанија,на среќата и немаше крај! :) Моето име е Викторија Цавироска и волонтирам во Колиндрес градче во близина на Билбао, во период од…
The most interesting note is that actually during EVS you will help yourself more than you will help the local community. You are going to live in a foreign country for up to one year trying to interact with the locals whom you cannot understand when they address you, and trying to stay alongside your…

Arriving for the first time in Istanbul before three months ago I was "yabancı" and my first destination where I should go was "Balat". I came in Istanbul as "yabancı", but since I entered in the narrow streets of this historic İstanbul neighborhood I have experienced some strange feelings of shared energy and identity,... I…

Already from the plane I saw an extraordinary view comparing to region I’ve been living for one year till now. Green meadows, straight streets and huge, flat space covered with woods, villages and fields everywhere! Not even a single hill visible, forget even having thought about a mountain! But green and clean. And still not…

Hello people! I'm Frosina and a week ago I returned from a year volunteering in Sisak, Croatia where I was EVS volunteer in "Local Democracy Agency", and my task was to promote volunteering.

I spent my one-year arrangement as a volunteer in an institution for women in acute situations, where I was active directly in the admission team. There is a variety of reasons for anyone to take this step. I had several, and every one of them is equally important. Making a retrospective to the past year…

It’s not easy to blab with your friends at home, to be open, excited and in love with the world, to want to share that, but not to be able to say it. It’s not easy to be the only foreigner. To go somewhere where you’re not needed, where people function perfectly with or without…
The next step was the corridor leading to the plain, the excitement growing bigger and bigger, although I must admit that I don’t like plains so much. Anyway, it was time to take off, and when I saw Vasko turning pale, the fear increased. But everything went OK, after the three-hour flight we arrived at…
Believe me, there’s so so much to be seen in London, you don’t have time for the queeny and her waving. You just walk to some impressive building, only to find out that behind it there’s one more, and behind that one, one more, and one more. There’s no end. All the way from the…
Paul, Martha short EVS volunteers who spent two months in Skopje at short term EVS in Volunteers Centre Skopje and Monika who will spend 2 months as short term EVS in United Kingdom.

I first heard about EVS during a training course in Macedonia some 2-3 years ago. When the session about the YiA Programme ended, outside, during the coffee break, a friend of mine I had just met asked me, “What do you think about going EVS?” At that time, I had just a vague idea about…
After my short term EVS in 2009, which was 1 month project, I decided to take the next step and find some long term EVS.

My motivation was to volunteer in some area that will be beneficial…
Curiosity, discovering new cultures and the need to search for something new are some of the reasons that made me go to Poland. I think any country on Earth has its own beauty and has something unique to be seen. Wrocław - the city where I live now is the fourth largest city in Poland.…
