The Erasmus+ programme offers young people the chance to make a difference through the European Voluntary Service.

 

The European Voluntary Service (EVS) gives young people the opportunity to express their personal commitment through full-time voluntary work in a foreign country within or outside the EU.

 

The EVS aims to develop solidarity, mutual understanding and tolerance among young people, while contributing to strengthening social cohesion and promoting active citizenship. Their learning experience is formally recognized through a Youthpass. Volunteers receive free board and lodging, insurance cover and a grant for the duration of the project (in some cases they may be asked for a contribution for travel costs).

 

EVS volunteers working for more than two months abroad can get additional support to learn, and test their progress in, the language used during their volunteering.

 

In 2006 Batean was acredited as Sending and Hosting Organisation of EVS programm. Since then we hosted volunteers from various countries.
