EVS (European Voluntary Service) is a part of Erasmus +, providing young people with the chance to volunteer in another country and gain valuable experiences. Youth in Action and Youth for Understanding are not specifically related to the EU's youth programme, making them incorrect answers.

    Correct Answer
    A. An EVS project may have one or more EVS activities
    Explanation
    This answer is correct because it accurately describes the relationship between EVS projects and EVS activities.

    If the applicant organization from an EU programme country is applying for a project, the application is submitted to:

    • National Agency

    • Executive Agency

    • National Youth Ministry

    Correct Answer
    A. National Agency
    Explanation
    If the applicant organization is from an EU programme country and is applying for a project, the application is submitted to the National Agency. This is because the National Agency is responsible for receiving and reviewing project applications from organizations within their respective countries. The National Agency plays a crucial role in the selection and funding process of projects, ensuring that they align with the objectives and criteria set by the EU programme. The Executive Agency may be involved in the implementation and management of approved projects, but the initial submission of the application is done through the National Agency. The National Youth Ministry is not directly involved in the application process for EU programme projects.

    In order to participate in EVS, organizations need to be accredited. This means that they have undergone a formal process of evaluation and have met certain criteria or standards set by a recognized authority. Being accredited ensures that the organization has the necessary qualifications, expertise, and resources to effectively participate in EVS activities. Being certified or qualified may indicate some level of competence, but it does not necessarily imply the same level of scrutiny and validation as being accredited.

    The EVS charter is the official document that outlines the rights and responsibilities of all parties involved in an EVS project. It serves as a summary of the project's objectives, activities, and expectations for volunteers, hosting organizations, and sending organizations. The charter provides a framework for the project and ensures that all parties are aware of their roles and obligations.

    Explanation
    The organizations can ask for none of the above because the question states "When selecting volunteers for their projects," implying that the organizations are not specifically seeking volunteers with foreign language competence or previous work experience.

This includes providing them with necessary information about the program, arranging travel logistics, conducting pre-departure training, and ensuring that volunteers are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge for their volunteer work abroad. The sending organization plays a crucial role in ensuring that volunteers are well-prepared and supported before they embark on their volunteering journey.

    Correct Answer
    A. Two people
    Explanation
    To provide adequate support for the volunteer during the service, the receiving organization should nominate at least two people. Having two people ensures that there is enough support available in case one person is unavailable or overwhelmed with other tasks. It also allows for effective coordination and communication between the volunteer and the organization. With two people, the volunteer can receive the necessary guidance, assistance, and supervision, resulting in a smoother and more productive volunteering experience.

    Correct Answer
    A. Providing decent and safe accommodation for the volunteer
    Explanation
    The receiving organization is responsible for providing decent and safe accommodation for the volunteer. This means that it is their duty to ensure that the volunteer has a place to stay that meets certain standards of quality and safety. This could include providing a clean and comfortable living space, ensuring that the accommodation is in a safe location, and addressing any maintenance or security concerns that may arise. By taking on this responsibility, the receiving organization is ensuring that the volunteer has a suitable place to live while they are working or volunteering for the organization.

    • The mentor

    • The supervisor

    • Both, mentioned above

    Correct Answer
    A. The mentor
    Explanation
    The mentor is responsible for supporting the volunteer's learning process and personal adjustment in the new environment. They provide guidance, advice, and assistance to help the volunteer navigate their new surroundings and adapt to their role. The mentor acts as a trusted confidant and resource for the volunteer, helping them overcome challenges and achieve their goals. The supervisor, on the other hand, may have a more administrative or managerial role and may not be as directly involved in the volunteer's personal development and adjustment. Therefore, the mentor is the primary source of support in this context.
