⚠️ Requirements
The volunteers who want to be involved in the Youth Volunteering Camp have to be committed with creative skills, be open-minded, willing to know, share activities and moments with people with disabilities and other participants.
As the goals of the project are quite open and wide, it should involve volunteers who like art, creativity, performing arts and music. It is not obligated to have knowledge on performing arts (however it will be appreciated), the willing to be creative and the motivation in participating in artistic activities is more than enough. Last but not least, they should be open for the corporation with people with intellectual disability.
We hope to see young people ready to enjoy perhaps one of the best summer of their lives, sharing great moments with people from all over the world! We hope to see young people ready to enjoy perhaps one of the best summer of their lives, sharing great moments with people from all over the world!
