The European Voluntary Service (EVS) celebrates its 20th anniversary! In that context, a communication campaign is being planned. The communication campaign will take place in Erasmus+ Programme countries and will be implemented by National Agencies nationally and locally.

Additionally, the regional SALTOs located in the Polish, French and Slovenian NA will also promote the anniversary through their role in accrediting EVS organisations in the region. Whereas the Commission provided a general framework for the campaign, it is largely up to the National Agencies and to the SALTOs to organise national activities and national communication material that suits their contexts.

Any stakeholder – whether it’s an organisation that is part of Erasmus+ or not, including the Western Balkans – is welcome to participate in the campaign and to spread the word. Branding materials can be downloaded here: europa.eu/youth/evs20_en.

If you wish, you could link to the campaign on your websites and social media sites or to forward the link to youth organisations in case you are in contact with any. At the bottom of the campaign website there is a link to downloading the branding of the EVS 20 anniversary (Scroll to “Spread the word!”).

The material exists in all “Programme Country” languages as well as in Serbian and Albanian and can be used by Commission services and other stakeholders alike.

The hashtag for the campaign is #EVS20 for social media posts. Please do not hesitate to reuse the text on the campaign website and/or the EVS video posted there if you are writing articles or posting on your own sites.

In addition, SALTO SEE is planning to gather 50 participants for a Volunteering Forum on 12-16 October 2016 in Sarajevo, an event in the context of the 20th anniversary.
