Wondering which spot in the world is hosting new event for sharing knowledge, information and experience?Castela, Split,  is our new destination for new Erasmus+ experiences. What happens there? What we are learning? “EVS as One more step toward Inclusion!” is the title of a project, which in the first mobility connects 30 youth workers/leaders, staff members, mentors, associates active in the volunteering field, coming from 9 European countries. During the 10 day training, supported by experienced trainers, the participants have the opportunity to tackle all issues connected with the EVS and other volunteering possibilities, on European level, with special focus on developing programs for supporting young people with fewer opportunities.
