💼 What the programme involves
At Foundation SolidarityWorks we work tirelessly to promote intergenerational dialogue, empower marginalized groups, as well as youth, women and the elderly. We use art, storytelling, advocacy and self-development to prevent domestic and intimate partner violence and learn to create healthy and fulfilling interpersonal relationships as well as nurture solidarity between and among diverse groups of people.
We have 4 open and fully funded European Solidarity Corps volunteer positions for 6 months each running from April to end of September 2022 which we would like to fill with energetic, creative, responsible and flexible young people (18-30 years old) who would appreciate a close-to-nature volunteering experience in Bulgaria working on social change along our team of female changemakers.
