Hi all. First of all I would like to greet all participants from the Istanbul summit. For me it was great experience and I am really happy that I could meet all of you in Istanbul. Some of you were asking me, why polish guy is working in turkish youth organization. I would like to explain to all of you, that I am a volunteer of European Union's program, called "European Voluntary Service - EVS". I came to Turkey 3 mounths ago, and I will stay here till the and of May 2010. The idea of that program is to sent young people abroud to work as a volunteer in so called "host organization". For young people it's great opportunity to get some new experiences, meet new people, learn foreign language and culture. For host organization it's a chance to get new workers with new ideas, etc.
I think that it can be a great chance for all your organizations to send some people abroud, but also to host some youngsters as volunteers. It's an EU's program, and it's paid in 100% by European Commision.
In next spots I will try to explain you how does that program work in practice and if you will have any question about this you can ask me- I can say that I am quite good experienced, because before comming to Turkey I was working as an EVS volunteer in Georgia.
I'll be glad to help you if you will have any questions about EVS, but also about Turkey, and of course my contry: Poland :)
