Kremenchuk informative-elucidative center “European Club” is situated in an industrial city. Most people work at plants and never were abroad. However a lot of people wish to communicate with foreigners. We initiated this project in order to activate local community and school euro clubs and to destroy the stereotypes about people from abroad. In this project we plan to involve 2 volunteers for long term service from Poland(10 monthes - ALREADY FIND) and other EU country (12 monthes). Volunteers will help KIEC "European Club" in our regular activities and current project. One of volunteers will be involved in work with school euroclubs for 12 months: she/he will make lectures and workshops in the schools about their own country (traditions, history, educational system, young peoples' lifestyles) and the European Union. Another one will be involved in organizing of youth leisure in special project "Space of ideas", PR of these events and promotion of their results with help of new media (it will be a service for 10 months).
Both of them demonstrate opportunities of young people from regional towns and rural areas participation in different programs of EU, of teaching us the European methods through volunteering and for developing an opportunity of cooperation with EU countries, for establishing intercultural dialogue, solidarity, tolerance.
