U Udruzi IKS tijekom svibnja i lipnja društvo su nam pravili volonteri iz Norveške, Ines i Thomas. U suradnji s našim partnerima iz Norveške Hordaland County Council proveli smo projekt „EVS 4 inclusion“ kroz koji su volonteri sudjelovali na volonterskim aktivnostima u Domu za starije i nemoćne, Domu za psihički bolesne odrasle osobe, osmislili radionice za djecu i mlade i promovirali mobilnost mladih.
Ljeto je uvijek zaposleno razdoblje u Udruzi IKS, gdje pokušavamo osmisliti i osigurati što bolju ponudu aktivnosti slobodnog vremena za djecu i mlade. Nakon završetka školske godine djeca imaju potrebu za ispunjavanjem svog vremena a naši volonteri organiziraju zanimljive i edukativne radionice i igre.
Nakon dva mjeseca u Petrinji, Ines i Thomas su puno naučili, o sebi i zajednici u kojoj su boravili. Volontiranjem u stranoj zemlji razvijaju se mnoge vještine i specifična znanja koja Erasmus+ program vrednuje kroz Youthpass certifikat. U Youthpass-u su napisana sva znanja i iskustva stečena volontiranjem, opisana kroz osam ključnih kompetencija.
Tako su i Thomas i Ines primili svoje Youthpass certifikate i pozdravili se s mentorima, kolegama i ostalim volonterima te se zaputili kući, uz nove neprocjenjive uspomene i prijatelje.
During May and June in Association IKS, we had the company of volunteers from Norway, Ines and Thomas. In cooperation with our partners from the Norwegian Hordaland County Council, we conducted a project “EVS 4 inclusion” through which volunteers participated in volunteer activities at the Home for the elderly and infirm and Home for mentally ill, designed workshops for children and youth and promoted the mobility of young people.
Summer is always a busy time in Association IKS, we are trying to design and ensure the best offer of free time activities for children and young people. After the school year, children have a need to fulfill their time and our volunteers organize interesting and educational workshops and games.
After two months in Petrinja, Ines and Thomas learned a lot, about themselves and community they stayed in. Volunteering in a foreign country develops many skills and specific knowledge that Erasmus + program evaluates through the Youthpass certificate. Youthpass contains all knowledge and experience gained through volunteering, described through eight key competencies.
So both Thomas and Ines received their Youthpass certificates and said goodbye to their mentors, colleagues and other volunteers and went home, with new invaluable memories and friends.
