SVE IN OLANDA

Zwolle
Zwolle is an old Hanzecity in the Northeast part of the Netherlands situated along the river IJssel. Zwolle has a beautiful historic city center where you can still feel the rich history and tradition of the city. Zwolle is also a modern city, the vivid capital of the province Overijssel with over 118.000 inhabitants, called “BlueFingers”, and a large student population.

‘t WasdoM
‘t WasdoM is a meeting place for young people aged 18 – 28 year; a place where you find new people and new ideas. Young people are invited to think about their personal history and future, family and friends, social and political environment and the world we live in. Our encounter and dialogue is based on mutual respect for ourselves and others. In ‘t WasdoM young people find space for their unique selves and learn to make space for the uniqueness of others.

Voluntary work
Volunteers of ‘t WasdoM are involved in numerous of activities. Based on personal interests a volunteer has for example the possibility to work with: young immigrants, homeless people, children; work in a youth centre, recycle shop, day-care centre for mentally disabled and / or churches in Zwolle.

European Voluntary Service
‘t WasdoM has a group of international volunteers organized through the EVS scheme. These young volunteers get the opportunity to experience the reality of youth work and other voluntary services in and around the city of Zwolle. Their diverse backgrounds, cultures and experiences bring a new perspective to youth centre ‘t WasdoM. Volunteers are actively participating in all aspects of ‘t WasdoM. There is an active exchange of views between Dutch people involved in the youth centre and these EVS volunteers. ‘t Wasdom pays special attention to the formation of these volunteers. That means apart from their volunteer work, there is also time to talk, think and work around themes concerning matters such as religion, society and those around us. The co-ordination of activities is carried out by the supervisors of ‘t WasdoM project hence the program is made by the youth workers, but volunteers also have an influence in what they would like to discuss. Each week there is time to reflect on experiences and learning. The international volunteers live together as a small international community in a house, named ‘t DAK (the roof) nearby ‘t WasdoM.

Goals & aims of ‘t WasdoM EVS program
Promote intercultural exchange between European volunteers and Dutch peoplE Learn the Dutch language – possibility to finish with official diploma Coaching through youth workers and mentors
Evaluation program with the host organization and the mentor
Reflection on and helping to plan future of volunteer after EVS program In the first eight weeks there is time to learn Dutch and to get to know the organization and the city. Every volunteer gets own tasks in the organization which will take about one day a week. Our volunteers are the host persons of our youth centre ‘t WasdoM. Besides tasks within the monastery there is also room for new activities according to their interests. We actively stimulate our volunteers to develop and try new activities.

Target group
Our target group for the EVS program are young people aged between 18 and 25 years with at least high school degree. Our potential volunteer needs to have some experience or strong preference in working with young people. The foundations of the youth centre has been established through the Dominican Monastery and hence there are still strong ties with the church and its surroundings. Therefore all volunteers should be willing and open to doing voluntary work within a Christian environment.
