THE ORGANIZERS
DESES -3, We are DESES-3; an organization that works with young people, offering them opportunities of comprehensive training programs, while giving priority to those who are unemployed or have a cultural, social or economic disadvantage. We aim at social inclusion and thus provide the space and projects that will allow youngsters to develop their social skills.
In partnership with other organisations, we also develop exchanges and youth camps where participants are brought close to nature. All participants are volunteers who build interesting and innovative projects as well as connect with each other through the sociocultural activities they engage in. DESES -3 has 15 leisure-time monitors, 3 leisure-time coordinators, 2 level monitors, 2 trainers and one volunteer coordinator, all of whom work towards developing non-formal education activities. Our team has extensive experience in the creation, organization and implementation of educational and free time activities. These include meetings between different associations (each hosting about 5000-6000 participants), participation forums, debates and multiple other communication tool-promoting activity. All of these serve to promote non-formal education and a learning system capable of transforming the reality that surrounds us.

What offers the EVS project Pool of opportunities, my name is Europe, for the volunteer ?
Based on the experience in all our years of development of various projects of European mobility in the Youth in Action program and the new program Erasmus +, our association has detected, based on the ongoing processes of internal assessment, design, structures and new lines to follow, the need to go a step further in generating experiential learning opportunities following the methods of non-formal education to our young partners and the local community of Medina del Campo for to give the opportunity to the youth of our region and the European volunteers to share their experiences and European culture.
We firmly believe that every young person with a broad desire to be integrally formed as active and participatory citizen integrated into the European community, must live an EVS project based on an experience of non-formal learning that seeks to provide knowledge, skills, and attitudes for person involved in this action program and that result in the acquisition and development of skills, where participants must be aware of the learning process in which they are immersed. For this, it is essential to learn to learn, chasing one hand help the volunteers to reflect on what they want and can learn during their EVS project and on the other hand, offer learning tools to achieve your goals learning inside and outside the EVS.
Furthermore, after consolidating for more than 10 years development plan and local citizen participation "Medina 21" benchmark nationally and internationally recognized, of our population Medina del Campo, we needed for our locality through the acceptance of EVS project, because it's hard work to show to citizens this concept of a wider Europe in small populations that are not equal to a big city
We offer to the participant involved in this project, one ambitious volunteer municipal plan that consists of activities to develop in five organizations working in different areas related to the population of Medina of the field as:
