Who are we?
Gregoire Vialleton and Agnes Rivet, coming from different parts of France; Saint Etienne for Gregoire and Paris region for Agnes.
Both 24, we graduated last year; Gregoire as an heating engineer in Nantes and Agnes in political studies in Toulouse.
What are we doing in Serbia?
We are both doing a European Voluntary Service (EVS) at Local Democracy Agency Subotica, for a 10 month period starting from October 2010 to July 2011.
As part of the EVS, we are to develop a personal project, creating and implementing our own ideas. We both share the same interest and wanted to develop our competences in complementary areas, this is why we decided to work jointly on this project.
Nevertheless, the personal project is just a part of the whole EVS picture - we are involved on a daily basis in other tasks for LDA's projects and youth work. For example, we are preparing the issues of e-newsletter for the project “Regional partnerships for intercultural exchange” in which the LDA Subotica is a partner. We also take part in orgising events related to Europe, youth or volunteering. Moreover, we have created and implemented a programme of workshops in two high schools of Subotica, along with local volunteers.

Finally, we are included in the LDA team of volunteers, taking part in the project of EU Info Point Subotica, aiming at providing information for young people on European programmes, especially the Europen Voluntare Service. |
