Steps to EVS


1 - FIND A SENDING ORGANIZATION.
The first step is to get in contact with a sending organisation in your home country. You can find the sending organisations checking the database. Elsas Hus is also a sending organisation, so don’t hesitate to get in contact with us! For being successful you should start searching about minimum 8 months before you’d like to take part in a project.

2 - LOOK FOR A PROJECT.
After finding an organisation you should think about what you want to do and of course where you want to do it. Do you want to protect the environment in Ireland? Or do you want to make art in Italy? No problem. Just check the database and search for interesting projects. The database is constantly being updated but some of the projects could not be active at the moment.

3 - APPLY FOR IT
The next step would be to write motivation letters. With a motivation letter you apply for a project. The sending organisation should get to know your person and what your ambitions, qualifications and aims are. If you aren’t really sure how to write the letter, just check out the tips in the blog. Maybe they can help you to get ideas and answer some of your questions.

4 - WAITING
Now it’s time to wait. Don’t lose hope if it takes some time to get feedback from the host organisations. If you are lucky your application is successful and you can speak about the rest with your sending and host organisations that will help you to manage it.
