Project Environment
People around the world have very different lives and ways of living.People have different belief systems(sometimes called religions, sometimes political beliefs)and usually live their lives according to what they believe to be right and wrong.Culture is learned behaviors,traditions,beliefs and a way of life created by a group of people.Our world is constantly changing and it’s filled with a variety of people that have developed many diverse cultures.People often follow the rules of their countries,make statements about other nationality,make stereotypes and prejudices.Learning to live with and respect others’ cultures and backgrounds is important. Prejudice is not genetically installed-it is rather a learned behavior.History has shown what people are capable of,when prejudice is not broken down and intolerance prevails in societies.Along with outright injustice and violence, discrimination and marginalization are common forms of intolerance against what we want to act within the framework of our EVS project.
The program aims to promote a tolerance, pluralism, and respect, exchange best practices, experiences of multicultural societies and encourage intercultural learning.The EVS in Georgia offers the participants and the local community an opportunity to become familiar with different countries’ inter-ethnic coexistence,make valuable contacts,exchange useful examples.

What is important in this field of volunteering and active citizenship is the effort of both organizations in including young people who are really motivated and want to live the experience of evs as part of a long term learning process.
