2 Who are we? Asociación Mundus- Un Mundo a Tus Pies has been established in 2013 with main headquarters in Badalona (Barcelona), Spain. It is a no-profit association created by people passionate about learning mobility and cultural exchange, largely interested in supporting youth development through non formal education, as well as into support of educational policies for contributing to fight youth unemployment levels in Spain and Europe. The Association is implementing various learning mobility projects under the Erasmus+ programme. Mundus regularly organizes training courses for youth workers, cultural exchanges and is one of the biggest organizations working with volunteers in Spain, sending yearly hundreds of Spanish volunteers abroad. Mundus works as a network in Catalonia and Aragon regions of Spain, where it cooperates with - Companies - Schools - VET centres - Universities - Public institutions. In 2015, we opened new headquarters in the city of Zaragoza and in 2016 a Bulgaria delegation. All members of the association have wide experience Youth programmes, as former EVS volunteers who participated and organized E+projects, as participants and trainers. Then,we have a global vision of the European Mobility programs, its possibilities, content and objectives. We are often working with youngsters under the tuition of the Catalan government, due to their special risky situations connected with their families. We try to support them including them in our activities, involving them in projects and offering them educational opportunities. INTRA EU - infopack // pg 1

3 The Mediterranean Games gather several countries in a sport competition, connecting Asia, Africa and Europe meant to promote integration among the geo-political and cultural area. Next edition is gonna be held in 2018 in Tarragona, Spain. EVS will be integrated in the organising activities of this event, integrating the voluntary scheme developed by the Municipality of Tarragona, in cooperation with local youth and stakeholders. EVS will have the chance to learn from behind the scenes and contribute with their willingness to share their energy, culture and interests, but will also be very close up to the games themselves as guests in their free time and as volunteers right on the spot with an added value given by the wide range of countries involved, mainly all the ones that take part in the game, coming from Euromed area as well. This is an international event that will be a moment to explore transversal European values like fair play, intercultural understanding, tolerance, anti-racism, human rights, inclusion, gender equality and many more. The volunteers will be encouraged to learn about these through the volunteering, but also be ambassadors for these values, as they represent Europe and Africa at this event. Our partners work with young people with fewer opportunities on various levels, taking into account that we are planning to include Partners countries, which are going through hard or unpredictable political situations and which had been or there are still facing conflicts and wars. This group EVS will offer activities for 60 volunteers on the mentioned cultural and educational projects in the city of Tarragona. They will be sent by 21 sending organisations from programme and Partners countries (SEE and EUROMED) and hosted for the period of 1 month, taking actively part in the 10 days Games.
