We are involving trough this project 4 volunteers.

This project (curricular internship) gives students the opportunity for a first encounter with the labour market in NGOs and also help them for future professional choices .

The in-ternship lasts 150-200 hours and so far we hosted two interns.

On international/European level we are active to take part in different projects, seminars or conferences. So far EUROSUD have been engaged in the :

EUROSUD in collaboration with SOF International network every year in June organize Rose Picking Experience in Bulgaria. It’s one week long coaching project where youngsters have opportunity to collect rose flowers in fields, visit local rose oil distillery and take part in Rose festival. Project is financed from private and public grants.

European EFOS Week at Faculty of Economics in Osijek, Croatia (May 2016). The main objectives of this year’s European Week was present and inform the students from Osijek about possibilities that EU offers, but also to share real stories about students who were brave enough to make one of these options. More than 200 students were present at the lecture, and later they participate in several workshops organized by EUROSUD team.

Conference "Budi poslovan, budi konkurentan!" at Faculty of Economics in Osijek, Croatia (April 2015). Our key staff presented organization and our work. The aim of our lecture was to introduce young people to the opportunities offered by the Erasmus + and how they can use them in finding a job.

How do we plan to involve people with fewer opportunities?We want to bring new positive changes in our environment, especially for young people with fewer opportunities. EUROSUD deeply promotes equality by all meanings, we believe that equality is the highest value to support; equality in terms of the same opportunity. Therefore, regarding above mentioned and basing on our capabilities, for this moment we are working mainly with young people that are facing educational, economic, geographical, social and cultural difficulties/obstacles. We believe that NGOs play a significant role in increasing participation of young people with fewer opportunities and through our mentoring and supporting system we provide them with the assistance they need in order to reach their unlimited capacity and discover their talents.

How are we going to make project visible and to disseminate and exploit its results?

Each of our international projects is heavily promoted on our website and social media channels. Our Facebook group counts more than 4600 members. We publish our activities in the monthly newsletter which is reaching nearly 2000 youngsters, so they can get informed about upcoming projects and results of that projects.

After project, at least one participant will write their project impressions (testimonials) as an article and it will be promoted through different channels of communication. Once per month we organize Erasmus Aperitivo where participants share their experiences from different projects or they implement workshops that were the most important and useful for them during project.

In order to share the results of the project outside our Association and the hosting country – Italy, and to promote the role of the Erasmus+ Programme, a comprehensive dissemination strategy has been put in place:

1) Within the country – - We have signed an agreement between EUROSUD, organisation Forum Giovani Corato, and Municipality of Corato , with which we established a skilful and supporting each other circle of institutional bodies in order to promote, support and coordinate efforts to strengthen the activities (in Puglia in particular.

- A press release of the project will be sent to several local media, newspapers, TV, radio, online journals etc. in order to inform other NGOs & public opinion about the project we're working on also thanks to our partnerships (see the link below)

We'll disseminate the results of the youth exchanges on WWW.EUROSUD.INFOFacebook EUROSUD https://www.facebook.com/groups/172127159615558/Press Release LOCAL NEWSPARER http://www.triggianodemocratica.info/Presentation on a local event BALAB COWORKING SPACE http://www.futurelabalab.it/
