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.
