On the 29th of June 
2 volunteers from our organization returned from their EVS in the Netherlands in an organization called Richter. The Richter foundation is a non-profit organization run by a team of professional in the field of arts and cultural movement from the town of Den Helder. According to their impressions it was one of the most life changing experiences in their life.
Our volunteers Koryun Kitabchyan and Mher Chatinyan who are artists worked in an art gallery. Their tasks were to work in the gallery every day. They participated in organizing expositions, promoting the gallery and informing visitors on European activities. They also organized their own exhibitions with their own paintings. The exhibitions represented their inspirations from
the Netherlands.
Besides both of them participated in an EVS on arrival training in Belgium. The training was organized by the Dutch Nation Agency to help the new volunteers to adapt in a new country and to know their rights and responsibilities.
During the project they developed a lot of important skills. They took Dutch lessons during the whole period of their EVS. They learned to communicate with different people, representatives of different cultures and to respect different points of view. Besides they developed the ability to adapt to multicultural environment and difficulties. What is most important, they learned to live with other people in the same house, to respect each other’s values and cultures.
All in all, their EVS was a success.
