EVS is not a job or an internship, nor a work placement, a humanitarian mission or a holiday period.

Language learning within the EVS is a consequence and shall not be the only reason for you to join.

Your sending organisation is still there to counsel and help you all along your EVS project.

Your host organisation will nominate a personal mentor for you. It can be very helpful to have somebody nearby, with a good understanding of your situation and ready to give personal advice and support.

It will sometimes be difficult - but who said it would be easy?

Communication brings common understanding, while lack of communication leads to false expectations and wrong interpretations. Take care that you and your partners ask the right questions and bring along the helpful answers.

If you have further questions, feel free to contact us by email or by phone +32 (0)2 233 02 99.
