Description of the Receiving Organization:
Youth and Environment Europe (YEE) is a platform of European youth organisations that study nature or are active in environmental protection. The aim of YEE is to encourage youth to be involved in environmental protection and to provide a platform where these organisations can work together. All our activities are organised and carried out by young people under 31. YEE (already since 1983) organises and encourages all activities that can increase the knowledge, understanding and appreciation of nature and the awareness of environmental problems among young people in Europe.
YEE serves member organisations to exchange information, ideas and experience among them, through publications and European projects, like training courses, youth exchanges, campaigns.
YEE focuses on youth participation and non-formal education and organises projects to increase skills of young people and empower them to be active citizens.
Project description:
The EVS project “Youth for the Environment 2017” will take place in the office of the international network Youth and Environment Europe on the ecological farm Toulcuv Dvur in Prague, Czech Republic.
The aim of the project is to develop competences of young people needed in environmental youth work.
Objectives of the project ‘Youth for Environment’ are:
to exchange information among countries on topics of environment and youth projects;
to raise awareness about environmental problems;
to improve various skills needed in youth work;
to involve young people in international projects and to promote voluntary work.
During the EVS project in YEE two volunteers will be able to implement tasks and develop skills in a wide scale of activities, which are split in three parts.
First part is the work in YEE office – helping to organise campaigns, activities, publications, projects, website about youth issues and environmental awareness. Volunteers can practice skills of: cooperating in an intercultural team with people from several different countries, working in English, organising, coordinating various projects, networking with member organisations, preparing publications, design, updating website, etc.
Second part consists of practical activities in the ecological center Toulcuv Dvur, where YEE office is located – volunteers can integrate into local community, practice the Czech language, help in the farm and make practical workshops focused on environmental education. The EVS volunteers will also have the opportunity to volunteer in the kindergarten which is located in the eco-farm.
Third part is the volunteer’s personal project. Volunteers can prepare a project according to their interest to practise sense of initiative and entrepreneurship.
All these various activities will enable volunteers in different ways to raise their environmental awareness and inform other young people about environmental problems.
