Project final dissemination event
Our EYESA final dissemination event hold in Ljubljana, Slovenia, on the 10th of February 2020, hosted by our partner SURSUM Foundation. The purpose of our final event was to present and share the final products and outputs of EYESA project – the Self-evaluation tool, the Curriculum, the agenda for the Workshops on skills and competences and the Collaborative portal for European young volunteers. We had expert panels to discuss about the future of young volunteers and the ways to mainstream the methodologies implemented with EYESA project on dinamization of youth in social actions. Besides the stakeholder, interested educational bodies and institutions, a lot of students attended our final event and showed a big interest and so we hope, our intellectual project outputs will be used and helpful.

Multiplier events
This final event was the last of a series of multiplier events organized in each partner countries,  where we invited different stakeholders, bodies, dealing with education and training, NGOs, training centers, job-seekers, teachers, companies and general audience, involved in the project from the very beginning, and other institutions and citizens that were interested in attending.

Skills-based workshops
We conducted skills-based workshops – a specific training course addressed to different young volunteer work force regarding the vulnerability they work with. More than 20 young people in each partner’s country received f2f and online training and guidance on a range of social, civil, entrepreneurial and transversal skills to their social action areas. The workshops allowed to deepen the essential skills of our participants needed for their career path and to promote social entrepreneurship.   in each partner’s country using the methodology which we developed to implement the Curriculum.

EYESA 4the and last project partner’s meeting
We did our EYESA final project meeting in Ljubljana, hosted by our partner the Sursum Foundation. We presented the Multiplier events done in each partner’s country and the impact and interest among our young volunteers. Having the positive feedback from our participants in the pilot trainings we shared our satisfaction about the Curriculum and the Workshop agenda which provides the knowledge to fill the skills gap and improve young volunteers’ social performance. We discussed how to alive our Collaborative portal, envisaged to provide enough open tools to enable young volunteers to exchange experiences, contents and approaches in the field of volunteering and closed our EYESA project with a discussion about challenges, dissemination, exploitation and evaluation of our project results hoping that we will meet again in other Erasmus+ projects.      Here our Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/eyesa).
