7. DAY: Evaluation, Follow-up

Unfortunaltely  this is the last day of the project, the last day in Bartošovice.

We started the day with a small group session about European  voluntary service,training courses and youth exchanged  .Each participant had the opportunity to write down on a sheet of paper ideas about a future project that he/she would like to coordinate and participate.Then we continued the day with one last sessions about Follow up and dissemination.. We tried various methods of spreading the result of the projects – we spilt in groups about video recording, brochure and press release translated in several languages. After this we all completed the evaluation of the project and we have the chance to speak into circle  what we like to bring home  and to make some suggestions to the future projects. We ended the day with youthpass certificates awarding. It's a pitty that the time was so short and it was a really pleasure to meet and colaborate with all of you and we will really miss you but we can't never know what the future will bring to you but I hope that it will give us the chance to meet again so we  won't say goodbye because we  don't want to , all i will say is "see you soon" :)

Best regards


Valentin

4. DAY: Make a research in Ostrava!

The group departed for Ostrava for a study visit and a bit of city exploration.  We were separated in 5 teams and we were assigned to interview random local people from different ages groups, asking them 3 questions regarding volunteering to find out if they were familiar with the term or if they had volunteered by any chance. Each group had an extra different task like visiting a hospital, a local NGO etc. and ask if they need volunteers to cover their activities. Every unique group had different experiences and their own challenges. We also had free time to enjoy a decent cup of coffee. The bad weather didn’t distract our great mood and we continued enjoying our trip. Getting back to the venue, the majority was exhausted while other took the advantage of the free evening to play board games. Author of the article: Filipe (Portugal)

6. DAY: Motivate, recognize, monitore, evaluate the volunteers!

Day 6 started with an administrative announcement about lunch. Afterwards we went outside to take a group photo in a sunny place. Everyone will have really small eyes J we did an energizer with Sona who made us move a lot, we really woke up a little bit. We were energized enough for the next task: we split in order to prioritize the reasons why people are volunteering. After gathering back in the big room and talking about it, we had the MCCLELLAND’S test for finding out what our motivation is. Marty energized us with the house song and I think everyone woke up after those really loud screams. After this, Sorin got the floor talking about the recognition of the volunteers and grouping us to find out our ideas of recognition. Sorin’s beautiful assistant Cosmin is now having the floor showing us videos with EVS volunteers. The other beautiful assistant, Sorin, is now back on the stage explaining us how the monitoring is working. And now Romania is having the floor because of this coo...
