By organizing the Erasmus+ mobility project” Exploring European Volunteering” we developed a sustainable partnership between organizations which are located in the European Union (EU) and in the Western Balkans (WB). The project had also the intention to open up the world of volunteering to organization in the WB countries by inviting them to a study visit in Italy and to think about the opportunities volunteer work can offer to young individuals, youth workers and NGO’s that work with youth. Volunteering work offers, among other benefits, job experience, managing skills, live in a foreign country, language training, network building and personal growth. This are benefits that can be interesting to young people and youth workers and their organizations working and living in Europe. By organizing this project, we succeeded to made the Erasmus+ program more accessible to the participants, for their youth and for the involved partners from the participating countries. By presenting successful volunteer projects in Italy and creating a Contact Making Seminar in Macedonia we demonstrated the real value of ESC projects to the participated youth workers and their organizations. The overall aim of the project” Exploring European Volunteering” was the development of solidarity between WB organizations and organizations from the EU. This to guarantee end-result for create long-term Erasmus+ projects between Erasmus+ program countries and countries from the WB.
