ALDA had been accredited once more as sending and coordinating organisation for the European Voluntary Service (EVS) for the next three years.

Within the Youth in Action Programme, EVS aims to develop solidarity and promote active citizenship and mutual understanding among young people. It represents a unique chance for young Europeans aged 18-30 to engage in full-time voluntary activities in a foreign country within or outside the EU for 2 to 12 months.

Not only does it promote mobility within and beyond the EU borders, non-formal learning and intercultural dialogue, but it also encourages the inclusion of all young people, regardless of their educational, social and cultural background.
