As sending organisation
Diocesan Caritas has a long tradition in cooperation with local volunteers as far as help for Ukraine is concerned. Thanks to EVS we want to offer opportunity our local volunteers and clients and other young people interested in volunteering to travel abroad, meet new culture and people, to learn something new and gained new experience.
As hosting organisation
The motivation to host volunteers through European voluntary service in our organization comes from previous experience with German volunteers. This experience was very valuable for our staff but mainly for our clients, especially for children and youth from Roma communities who are our major clients. It was extraordinary fun for them to meet somebody who does not speak Czech and who comes with new activities and behaviour. To our clients, the volunteers mean something new in their daily routine since most of them do not have previous experience with people from abroad. It is also a positive change for them to meet a new people in their familiar environment.
It is a benefit for our workers to work with foreign volunteers too. They can obtain new inspiration and learn new approaches at work with clients. The volunteers´ presence brings motivation and eliminates everyday stereotype.
