The Bang Bang Club - 1/3 Fantastic Planet - 8/3 Delicatessen - 15/3 Tapped - 22/3 Memento - 29/3 FB Events Went & Interested: 50&140 The Intercultural Dinner organized by Teatro Metaphora on 10 March was a success: we hosted almost 100 people and welcomed to the tastes of 7 different countries. The guests enjoyed fish stew and cinnamon buns from Iceland; pasta and pizza of Italy; bean stew, shopska salad and strong rakija drink from Macedonia, starters and sweets from Lithuania, mouth-watering pancakes from the Netherlands, special potato salad from Germany, and snacks and drinks from Ukraine. The delicious treats were cooked by the EVS (European Voluntary Service) volunteers of Teatro Metaphora and a local partner, Casa do Povo de Câmara de Lobos.
The event was organized within a short term project of Teatro Metaphora on reforestation of Madeira after the fires of 2016, nevertheless it was time to promote EVS to all guests that were participating on the dinner, to speak about current projects of our organisation and create new partnerships. Thank you! I hope you don't get to hungry by seeing the photos! On 23rd March, our EVS volunteer Clem organised an amazing event called Disco Soup. The event was a social event to come together, cook and eat food that would have gone to waste. Organisations were represented who are working in the area of food waste and trying to tackle this problem. The event was attended by around 80 people aged from 18 to 35. As the organiser of the event, Rachel and Clem from YDV also spoke about EVS and Erasmus+ and explained a bit about how Erasmus+ had made this event possible. It was a great event and we had 4 young people come up to us after the talk to discuss how they get involved more and participate in an EVS. In the evening of 22nd March, international opportunities evening took place in Tartu Art House, organized by Lille Maja youth center. Seiklejate Vennaskond was represented by Kaidi, Karolina, Eliisa, Kristin, Käti, Kaur, Greete, Orvi and Heleri. Everyone shared their project stories and experiences from international projects.
There was totally 3 rooms - one for short lectures, other for experience sharing and a general fair area. Heleri made a short presentation about international opportunities in lecture area and Kaidi talked about her EVS experience in Portugal. Others shared their experience about projects in Romania, Turkey, Estonia, Poland, Italy and other places in fair area, in small conversations with youngsters. We enjoyed it, hopefully the participants of the event liked it, too! :) In February and March "Back to School" campaign took place in Estonia. That meant, that people of different professions shared their stories with youngsters. The idea was, that young people would have about either future plans either easier or more difficult choices take make after the lecture (depending on your point of view). Anyway, the idea was to share inspiration and fulfill the 45 minutes of time with emotions and sparkle up new ideas. Seiklejate Vennaskond, represented by Heleri and Kaidi, visited Tartu Hansa Gymnasium, and shared their stories with 3 different classes of 8th graders. Heleri shared her experience in discovering the world through adventure and Kaidi shared her one year EVS experience from Portugal.

FB Event Went & Interested: 25&65 On 16th of March 2017 in Warsaw, Jerzy Szczepanczyk, Zofia Michalska and Paulina Grzączkowska carried out a poll concerning people’s awareness of Erasmus+ and EVS Program. The poll took place on the streets of the city center of Warsaw. We were asking mostly young people to answer the questions on that subject and we gathered information from 72 people. When asked about Erasmus+ program more than half of them knew what it is, however it turned out opposite when it came to knowledge who can benefit from it. People’s awareness of EVS Programme was thinner. Only 12 people knew what it is but more than half of them did voluntary work. Every participant of the street survey got a promotional leaflet, where they could find information about our current project with Estonian organization Seiklejate Vennaskond "Involve, Include, Improve", the contacts of the organization and the websites where they can get more information about Erasmus+ and EVS.

Žuborová (Head of Political Science Departments and European Studies of University of SS Cyril and Methodius in Trnava) and A. Bencel (Coordinator of the Campaign "Without Hate on the Internet").
