EIL have been hosting a group of American students visiting the UK for the past month to learn about film and to make a short film about young people in Britain and about their lives and culture.

The video is called 'Some Days...Some Lives...Somewhere in England' and follows the group from Malvern, to Bradford, Liverpool and Derby.

EIL UK is hosting an EVS (European Voluntary Service) Short Term Creative Arts Project from 8^th – 28^th July 2010 in Gloucester. 

The aim of the project is to give disadvantaged young people the opportunity to build up their basic / social / life skills in an informal way through a short volunteering experience. It also enables the participants to learn about life in another culture.

EIL UK welcome a group of American students to Scotland.

EIL UK is pleased to welcome a group of students from America. The students will be in Britain for a month, learning about film making. During their stay they will produce a film about an aspect of Britain or British life of their choosing.

We would like to welcome Angelina to the UK. Angelina is from Germany and is here for 5 months on the Youth in Action EVS programme. She will be volunteering in Gloucester, Worcester and Hereford on various youth work projects, including a 3 week project for international young people and a summer project for young people from different backgrounds.

We hope you enjoy your time here!

At EIL we are always on the look out for families who are interested in other people and other cultures to act as hosts for some of the people who want to travel to the UK to learn more about our wonderful culture and way of life. Families need to be able to welcome a stranger into their home as one of their family and make the visitor feel comfortable. If you think your family fits the bill or if you know a family who might please see the Host Family pages on our website for more information.

Welcome to EIL UK’s new website.

Though it’s still a little rough around the edges and there’s plenty more to be added over time we hope you’ll find it a useful way to learn about our programmes.

We’re also beginning to reach out and offer ways in which you can get involed online with EIL UK: be it writing a blog on this website while you’re volunteering in Ecuador, or helping to raise awareness of development education issues on the EIL UK Facebook page.

If you have any comments, or run into any problems with the website please let us know.
