Dear volunteers/trainees,
Ecorys and the British Council are running a competition for UK participants of the Youth in Action (European Voluntary Service-EVS and other actions) and Lifelong Learning (Leonardo, Grundtvig and others) Programmes from across the UK.
As EVS volunteers, Leonardo trainee, or participant in Grundtvig, you are invited to participate in this competition by sending your testimony of your experience through words, photos or film. (for more information please visit the official your story competition website http://competition.lifelonglearningprogramme.org.uk/ or contact Raphael: raphael@everythingispossible.eu )
‘’Studying, living, training or working in another European country is a great opportunity to explore new countries and cultures, make new friends and learn another language. However it also broadens your horizons in many other ways. It can improve your ability to deal with differences, question the established ways of seeing and doing things and trigger independent thought.
We are sure you have had lots of different experiences through involvement in the programmes and have a story to tell. This competition allows you to share your story with other participants and will also give you the opportunity to see some of your photos, films and stories on our websites.’’
Conditions and deadline?
The competitions are open until 30 September 2011. All the winners from each of the six programmes will be invited to attend a joint prize-giving event at the British Council head office in London in November 2011. It is only open for people from UK participating in one of this programme.
For specific conditions regarding each programme, please visit the official your story competition website http://competition.lifelonglearningprogramme.org.uk/
