Ltd Movement Sfera has been established in April 2018 as a result of transformation of Interregional youth social movement of support of voluntary initiatives SFERA. The aim of the organization is development and support of youth initiatives by providing young people from all over Russia with access to international volunteering regardless of nation, religious, social status and disadvantages. The main activities are: international voluntary workamps, ESC and other long-term voluntary projects for youth, educational activities for youngsters and organizations involved in social service, promotional campaigns of volunteering, charity and social services, events om intercultural communication. The most of the organizational activities allow to exchange experiences, knowledge and skills between youth from EECA, European Union and other countries of the world in order to inspire a sense of solidarity, tolerance and mutual understanding. We organize workcamps in Russia, around 5 projects per year, involving foreign volunteers and local community into voluntary work. We send Russian volunteers abroad (over 600 every year) for workcamps, as well as for ESC and Erasmus+ trainings/youth exchanges. We're working with young people all over Russia, informing them about possibilities of international volunteering. Movement Sfera operates at European level by organizing common projects and events with permanent partner organizations from all over the Europe. There are 83 permanent partners from all EU member countries and all EECA countries as well as from other parts of the world. Nowadays there are 4 staff members in Movement Sfera. The headquarter is situated in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia. Everything that organization is doing now is based on the heritage of NGO "Interregional youth social movement of support of voluntary initiatives SFERA" - the type of organization had to be changed due to some internal and external issues. SFERA movement operates at European level by organizing common projects and events with permanent partner organizations from all over Europe. There are over 100 permanent partners from all EU member countries and all EECA countries as well as from other parts of the world. Furthermore SFERA movement is a member of Alliance of European Voluntary Organizations and a partner of Service Civil International (SCI) networks. From 2007 to 2013 SFERA was one of the official multipliers of Youth in Action programme in EECA countries and until this day takes active part in promotion of values of the Programme in Russia, closely working with young people, youth organizations and NGOs all over the country as Erasmus+ Youth info centre in Russia, giving consultations about taking part in the Programme and acting as expert in it in the country. Organization has a democratic structure with the board which consists of young activists experienced in organizational activities. The staff of the organization also consists of young people.

How do you prepare the volunteers for their volunteer experience with us?

(max 5000 characteres)

While applying for the projects, volunteer is provided with informational support via e-mails and information on Russian web-site of Erasmus+. We always provide volunteers with contact details of volunteers we’ve sent before for EVS to provide networking and exchange of information between them. When the project is approved, volunteer has pre-departure session face-to-face or via skype concerning all practical issues, rights and responsibilities, EVS insurance specifics etc. We organize short pre-departure trainings and informational meetings for volunteers leaving for EVS and provide them with full information on rights and responsibilities and all technical aspects of EVS. We also arrange EVS insurance for them and provide with emergency contact details of coordinators in Russia or SALTO EECA in serious cases. We actively work with volunteers leaving for EVS to prepare them fully, informing about all challenges and problems they may face. During the project we stay in touch with the volunteer to check up on their learning progress and to see how things are going. In case of conflict situations we try to mediate it. We keep in touch with the volunteer during their voluntary service, evaluating the project and mediating in case of conflicts, as well as dealing with consulate, insurance etc. After EVS we invite them for evaluation meeting and also talk with them about achieved results. Afterwards volunteer is invited to take part in follow-up event centralized for all EVSers from Russia. Volunteer is also evaluating her project afterwards with our help, and any initiative for personal follow-up is supported!
