Quote of the European database on EVS about accredited organisations:
The Associação para um Mundo Humanitário (Tamera) developed an extracurricular training module for youth and young adults in order to realize the concept of an European community with people from different national, cultural, religious and general backgrounds.
The association has committed itself to create a model system which researches our current challenges on the ecological, social, technological and cultural level. This model is currently being created in Portugal and will develop generalizable communitarian knowledge about:
- communitarian living
- responsible actions with humans, animals and nature
- truthful communication
- a free and protected growing up of children
- an alive and fair relationship between the genders
- cooperation and exchange between the younger and older generations
This knowledge about community can then later be passed onto interested people in Europe and partnering countries.
The association wants to create an opportunity for youth and young adults to intensely get to know an autonomous technology, a communitarian, humane and social contact and common learning.
The youth is the carrier of the future. Therefore it is important for the association to convey sufficient knowledge and competence to the youth in the named areas in order to enable them to actively co-create their future.
The motivation of the association lies in making it possible for young people to follow their impulses in creating contacts, which creates a feeling of belonging together. Young people shall actively take part in the process of the realization of the European Communitarian idea.
The duration of the projects is up to 12 months.
The participants should be between 18 and 25 years. Under certain conditions participation is open up to 30 years.
