"The volunteers worked in projects of child and youth welfare. We place a different value on children's and youth welfare in Jena to promote a European consciousness also among the employees as well as the clientele. The use of volunteers from a European country plays an important role. At the same time, we have given the volunteers the opportunity to take part in active activitiesIn the case of joint volunteer activities, we have focused on information. The volunteers have told themselves and the work as a European volunteer and also presented their own homeland.

This is the third part of the project Learning for a Sustainable Future and has therefore the similar priorities: it is introducing formal and non-formal education forms and respective methods to the international volunteer. Formal and non-formal education is more and more linked to one-another, especially in pre-school education, so this project gives the volunteer the chance to learn to use different teaching methods with the help of his experienced tutor in Tallinn Kindergarten Sipsik. Especially because at present time youth unemployment is a serious issue in most European countries, this project aims to promote EVS among unemployed youth during the project in Estonia, as well after volunteer's return in France. EVS is a possibility to gain valuable experiences and learn new skills which can be beneficial for finding a job later. Proposed project is a good possibility for the volunteer Amaury Gengembre to be an active citizens and give his hand in the field where he can share already existing skills, having worked as a children basketball coach and babysitter before, but as well get new experiences and find his new talents. Through this project Amaury will bring a change into his own life as well to the children and adults he will work with, being the first EVS volunteer in Kindergarten Sipsik.

This project will also make Albanian youth more active around water issues faced by the city and to create opportunities for them to participate more in the cultural and social life of the city. The volunteer will lead actions in local schools by organizing workshops and activities around water resources protection : drawing workshops around water issues (floods, human impact on aquatic environment etc.), drawings exhibition during events (awareness raising meetings, World Water Day...), river visits, cleaning riverbanks, installation of water rise level markers...

Youth will be more aware on the need to participate actively in governance.

The aim is to share experience and skills on water resources management and to fit to the European Water Framework Directive. The project will enhance cooperation between French and Albanian communities. This report will also clarify the role of all the local actors and partners (experts, elected representatives, users). To achieve this action, meetings with influential persons will be organized. In the end, the report will lead to a comparison between French water governance and Albanian one and it will emphasize positive aspects of both systems in order to find solutions to achieve European objectives.
