General Information
NeViSo stands for the improvement of socially - economic position of young people, with special emphasis on young migrants in the surroundings where we operate. Because we started in Amsterdam Southeast, the activities are very much focussed in this area. Our activities create a platform for young people to develop their potentials and provide an outlet for young people to manifest their skills in a positive way. Moreover the projects we undertake must contribute positively in the lives of young ones in their process of becoming responsible adults. At the moment we have more than 5 dedicated young professionals who are working (on volunteering basis) for the foundation each for a minimum of 15 hours a week. We believe we are capable of completing this project, as we all have done a lot of international volunteer work, as project managers or coordinators. Moreover we have a lot of experience in hosting groups from different countries. The past period a lot of young people have applied to work for our organisation, so we believe with this team we will be able to bring this project to a successful end. We only receive project funding. In 2008 we received funding about 50.000 euro. We organise 4 seminars every 2 months, minimum of 1 international exchange per year. We have partners in Rusia, Poland, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Ghana, Surinam, Sierra Leone and UK. In the Netherlands we work with vocational schools, universities, local goverments, job agencies, youth organisations.
