EVS Looking to Future (Spring EVS 2017)

3/22/2017

This year we are doing our springbos activity holidays from 7 April till 7 Mei 2017. It would take place at Don Bosco Rijswijk and at Don Bosco Amsterdam.

In Rijswijk, the major role of the volunteer is to assist children/ youth in the holiday activities of Don Bosco Rijswijk, special activities with the children of two primary schools (The aim is to give a recreative and enjoyable time for the children from the age group of 4 to 16 who cannot afford to have expensive holidays) and to help out in Amsterdam with Queens Day activities for collecting money for the street children in Africa (Zimbabwe).

In Amsterdam, the major rule of the volunteer is to prepare and execute the programs for the children age of 7 to 13, who cannot afford to have expensive holidays. The project is taking place in one of the parish churches of Amsterdam Nieuw-West. They would be working together with the Don Bosco community, but they are the main actors of the project. The volunteers are also expected to join the community activity of the parish (during Easter holidays). Together with others, the volunteers are also helping out with Kings Day activities for collecting money for the street children in Zimbabwe.

The project is approved by Erasmus Plus program under number: 2016-3-NL02-KA105-001534

DBYn NL on the theme of Refugees
21-28 Aug 2016

Don Bosco Youthnet Nederland
DIVERSITY leads to TOLERANCE?: Sharing and exchanging ideas and experiences on differences and similarities in the context of current issue of Refugees. It is Youth Exchange organised in the Netherlands together with young people from Armenia, Spain, Hungary and the Netherlands.
There is uneasiness in our society because of the arrival of the thousands of refugees. With the negative media and the influence of extreme right politics it easily can turn into a tone of intolerance, fear and fuel for xenophobia against refugees and migrants. A group of young people in Rijswijk were concerned about these tendency creating fear and prejudice which in turn building another wall and the mind walls are growing higher day by day.
This Youth Exchange focuses to develop the critical thinking and tolerance in the mind of the teenagers/youth during the exchange and there after.
