Descubrir project is an EVS which involves 3 partners from Romania and 1 partner from Argentina and will take place in Rosario, Santa Fe in Argentina. In the project a number of 12 volunteers will be selected out of which 9 will be with fewer opportunities (3 from each sending partner, specially because one NGO represents the polish minority in Romania and another one comes from a region which is a big Roma community and all of them have the same problem: discrimination ) and who will participate to the specific activities carried out by placement centers from the local community. In this way the volunteers will help the children develop the social and family skills that parents would normally teach, as well as understanding the importance of respecting the others, in order to have an good cohabitation.
The activities will try to achieve the following:
- Personal development through activities of 12 volunteers working with needy children
- The development of a spirit of solidarity and mutual understanding between young people belonging to the two cultures.
- Promoting non-formal education as a means of understanding, for needy children, the principles of living together and respecting others.
To achieve these objectives, the young volunteers will participate in activities such as: daily workshops with children from Youth Center for organizing family activities together, meetings with young people and decision makers or students from the Faculty of Social Work, meeting with young people from Argentine ghettos that have evolved social and personal, traditional dance classes that will be performed, along with children, Descubrir Festival and the dissemination and promotion of community meetings with local non-governmental associations. In this manner the volunteers will be responsible for promoting the values and principles of the EU but also ensure the thorough dissemination of the project’s results.
