Making Environmental Connections
EYFA activities are based on promoting an environmentally responsible attitude, acquiring and passing on information to individuals, groups and networks locally and internationally. The aim of this project is to strengthen EYFA's support of individuals from all over Europe in the fight to live more sustainably. Particular interest is paid to patterns of use and impact of resource consumption from East to Western Europe, which vary widely, as do understandings and opinions of individual/local/national effects on the global problem. Within this project, the volunteer will be responsible for maintaining and developing EYFA's presence in environmental matters, through assisting in projects and keeping up-to-date with current researches.

Human Rights Protection and Promotion within Colombian student groups and Universities, Colombia
From mid-2008 to mid-2009 two EVS volunteers from the Netherlands were hosted by the Fundación Comité de Solidaridad con Presos Politicos (FCSPP) in Bogota, Colombia. The activities included workshops on human rights protection and seminars and the creation of audiovisual material on human rights violations in Public Universities and High-Schools in Colombia. EYFA assisted the volunteers with arranging the EVS funding, and provided all necessary pre-departure support.
