EVS in Guatemala

In year 2010 20 young people from France, Luxembourg, Estonia and Czech Republic spend 2 months in Guatemala as European Volunteers.

This project gave them the opportunity to experience life in a different environment, develop their understanding of other cultures, and work on the understanding of the notion to be a European citizen while helping with different activities including social, cultural, practical and intercultural tasks.

The project was targeted at young people, coming from different social and cultural backgrounds, with educational, financial, family or other difficulties. The EVS, especially carried out in a country outside of Europe, was a great opportunity for them to change their life in a positive direction, raise their self-esteem and develop their skills and competences.

This large-scale project promoted also in the local communities involved the intercultural tolerance and dialogue and will fight against discrimination, racism and xenophobia.
