📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

4xC is a unique avant-garde laboratory for research, development and promotion of traditional and contemporary art forms. A laboratory that does not produce, but rather gives birth to artistic artifacts by searching for and finding authenticity in art. The association aims to: support the education and integration of young people with disabilities, to seek, research and promote authentic Bulgarian art, to update and promote classical artifacts, to establish new trends in art comparable to European ones, to spread the principles of solidarity, equality and protection of human rights, to promote national values and culture mainly among youth and students. Among the main activities of 4xC are: creation of theatre, dance and music productions and their presentation in Bulgaria and abroad, organization of workshops, concerts, creative workshops and residences, expeditions and festivals, establishing contacts with state and municipal institutions, media, private and business organizations, international organizations, cultural institutions, programs, forums and festivals. Our activities are supported by Sofia University, Sofia Municipality, Ministry of Culture, National Culture Fund, Cultural Contact, Prohelvetia, Open Society Institute, many municipal and private organizations and others.

💼 What the programme involves

The volunteering mission is between February 17 and April 17. Suitable for young people between 18 and 30 years old. 24-Hour Non-Stop Theatre Marathon is a social experiment that explores the power of theatre to bring people together in an unusual, intense and transformative way. For 24 hours, without the right to sleep, we will play with theatre, through theatre and inside theatre. It is a collective artistic journey that challenges limits, builds community and creates a unique shared experience.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Participants will be provided with accommodation for the duration of the activity. The accommodation is shared, with participants staying in rooms with roommates. Food expenses and daily personal costs are covered through a daily allowance of 16 EUR per participant, intended for meals and pocket money. Travel costs are reimbursed according to the ESC distance calculator, based on the distance between the participant’s place of residence and the venue of the activity, in line with the programme rules.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
