Action 2 - European Voluntary Service Objectives The aim of the European Voluntary Service (EVS)
is to develop solidarity and promote active citizenship and mutual understanding among young people.
What is a European Voluntary Service project?
The European Voluntary Service enables young people to carry out voluntary service for up to 12 months in a country other than their country of residence. It fosters solidarity among young people and is a true „learning service‟. Beyond benefiting local communities, volunteers learn new skills and languages, and discover other cultures.

Envelhecimento Activo• Um dos factores para o
envelhecimento bem sucedido é a forma como se prepara a velhice, pois os comportamentos adoptados ao longo da vida reflectir-se-ão na fase final desta. No envelhecimento activo consideram-se três áreas principais de intervenção: a biológica, a intelectual e a emocional.
