The project “Building Bridges through EVS” is a long-term one-year Volunteering Project under Erasmus+ Programme for two volunteers coming from Italy. It will be implemented from September, 2018 until September, 2019 in Tbilisi, Georgia. 
Mainly the activities for the volunteers will take place in the capital – Tbilisi, where the most of the local activities of ICPI are implemented. But during the international projects in frame of Erasmus+, volunteers will be involved in the implementation process, and might move to different regions of Georgia together with ICPI staff.
The project aims to raise the awareness of the value and importance of active engagement and active citizenship and as one of the best instruments to expand or improve competences (skills, knowledge and attitude) for personal, social and professional development. The projects fosters mutual understanding and tolerance among youth from different cultures and it gives opportunity to learn about” the unknown” and avoid or combat stereotypes.
Overall objectives of the project are the following:
– To improve the capacity of volunteers, through including them in different activities of Receiving Organization;
– To give volunteers information about different youth related issues through non-formal education methods;
– To develop skills and competences of volunteers in following directions, such as project management, application writing, organizing, graphic designing, social media & web-page administration;
– To promote tolerance among volunteers and local young people, though mutual interaction and working together;
– To support breaking stereotypes and prejudices towards different cultures and widen the horizons;

Generator 9.8 is a co-working social space inspired by the principles of sharing economy and social entrepreneurship. The whole idea of it as point of reference for young professionals and young artists is quite new in Georgia. It is the first non-profit Co-Working Space in Georgia where customers and volunteers enjoy their mutual company while they are working on own projects. It is worth stressing out that Generator work is mostly based on voluntary work of ICPI stuff and their local volunteers. The monetary investment has been minimum due to the limited resources they had. The human capital employed for the Generator project is immense and it deserves to be productively used for a wider purpose. ICPI believes that it has affected many people’s lives in a positive way. The philosophy of the Generator is to supply young activists, young professionals, artists and musicians with a suitable platform for their personal and professional development.
