As part of the project “Linking Bridges – Building Networks”, around 30 young youth activists travelled through Armenia from 06-13 October 2015 for European Voluntary Service (EVS). Anna Perepechai, Lisa Stapper and Lukas Seidler, sent by our association Kultur Aktiv, were among them. On site, they met with the other EVS experts and with local partners. Our Armenian partners from Youth Initiative Center (YIC) in Gyumri had put together an exciting programme: A seven-day EVS Partnership Building Seminar, covering different stops in Armenia from North to South. The aim is to promote cooperation between EVS organisations and improve quality and new innovations in EVS through best practices.
The seminar could thus help to facilitate networking between experienced and new organisations working with EVS. By sharing and bringing in experiences and new perspectives, as well as building trustworthy partnerships, EVS projects will continue to gain in quality in the future.
