SUMMARY
Experiencing Active Citizenship in Rural Areas 2 is going to bring together 10 volunteers from Europe for a period of 9 months, starting with 15th January 2011.
The project aim is threefold:

* Partnership development - encouraging local and international cooperation.
Experiencing Active Citizenship in Rural Area II is the second group EVS project initiated and developed by Euro House Bustuchin being a follow up of the current EVS project. The positive impact and encouraging outcomes that resulted so far from the implementation of the EVS project in Bustuchin, Rosia de Amaradia and Hurezani communities determined us to consider the necessity and opportunity to continue with the implementation of such projects. In this respect, the proposed project EACRA II will gather together for a period of 9 months, 10 European Volunteers from 6 countries: Austria, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Armenia and Georgia. The hosting placements for this project will concentrate in a single cluster – Bustuchin – Hurezani – Rosia, three communities that are geographically close and are being confonted with similar problems.
The project aims to further develop and consolidate the innitiatiatives launched by the Experiencing Active Citizenship in Rural Area project in the direction of increasing active participation of local people in general and youngsters’ in particular to community activities that will focus on environment protection and cultural awareness.
The project encourages the participation of youngsters with less opportunities as well as involve a large target group of youngsters confronted with majour socio-economic issues.
Among the working methods that are to be used during the project we mention: meetings, open discussions, games, lectures and presentations, campings, expositions, dances, etc
Methodology:
The first month – is dedicated to the cultural and technical accommodation of the volunteers, training and coaching:
The first weeks upon arrival all volunteers will undergo a capacity building programme –part 1.

There will be meetings with the authorities( school, city-hall), meet the locals, the youngsters that participated in the activities implemented by the former volunteers, meet the places from where to buy food and other things that the volunteer will need.
The volunteer will have a big support from the mentor from that community, a person that will help him as well in activities but in accommodating to the life of the locality as well.

Accommodation
The first and the third week all volunteers are to be accommodated at “Nature INN” a guest house in Musetesti – a beautiful rural location, next to the mountains. The volunteers will share a room (2 persons/ room) with their own bed, bathroom, kitchen, living, dining hall and a wonderful natural surrounding.
The second and third week – in the hosting localities.
For the remaining 8 months the volunteers will be hosted in 4 rural communities from the east part of Gorj county: Bustuchin, Hurezani, Rosia de Amaradia and Prigoria either to host families or within the special arranged location by the City Hall.
Food
Buying and preparing the food is to be the sole responsibility of the volunteers. For preparing the food the volunteers will have free access to an equipped kitchen.
The hosting organization will provide each volunteer with a monthly food allowance from which they shall cover the alimentation costs. The allowance is enough for insuring a very good living standard (being much higher than the amount and average citizen from the region spends for food). However the allowance will not be enough for ensuring every day eating in a restaurant or bistro or leading a luxurious life.
Transport
The local transportation costs of the volunteers necessary for the activities implementation will be covered 100% by the association from the project budget.
The international transport of the volunteer from his/her home to the site of the project shall be covered 90% – two ways (Economy flight tickets and/or 2nd class train tickets).
The personal transport of the volunteers (local, national or international) will be not in the responsibility of the association.
