ASOCIATIA ORGANIZATIA TINERILOR CU INITIATIVA FILIALA ARAD

Since 2008 OTI-Arad is organizing EVS Hosting and Sending projects, helping youth all over the world to volunteer or spend a mobility in or outside Romania. At the moment OTI has 3 member branches in Romania, who are active in the youth field in specific regions. All 3 OTI branches are working in developing mobility projects for hosting (in Romania) or sending (all over the world) youngsters and youth workers in order for them to develop personally and professionally. Since 2014 OTI and it’s branches are members of the Alter Ego Network and in 2016 the association became members of the European Peer Training Organisation, which provides a space where young people can be learners and educators, sharing with their peers their competencies in a spirit of collaboration. Oti is acting as a sending organization for EVS, youth exchanges, training courses or seminars and already sent more than 150 young people to mobilities in different countries. Currently OTI-Arad is holding an EVS accreditation which is due for renewal September 2018. The Erasmus + volunteering activities organised under the current accreditation, are concentrating on the topic of diversity education and anti bullying activities with which we were very successful in implementing EVS projects in the last 3 years.
