About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Please apply here https://forms.gle/KzKwgG1UKZpf2oA1A Volunteers will support activities around the Umoja-Enosi field, which hosts football teams of youth with immigrant background. Their tasks will focus on promoting inclusion in the community through football and other interactive initiatives. Volunteers will on one hand gather narratives from people connected to the field and use this material to create a video, with the help of a videographer, portraying the field's story. On the other hand they will lead sports and creative activities to encourage interaction beyond football, and also organize a "children's peace tournament," to demonstrate football’s ability to convey values like co-existence. Both teams will also accompany the youngsters on excursions, including museum visits and a trip to a large football stadium. In the end a public event will be organized featuring the video presentation, tournament awards, and additional activities reflecting the volunteers’ interests.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will stay in apartments located close to the NGO's office, the field, and the city center. Each room will accommodate a maximum of two volunteers divided by gender, with shared toilet/shower facilities for up to three people. All the apartments have kitchens, enabling volunteers to prepare and share their own meals and breakfasts. Ingredients and kitchen tools will be provided by the host. Local transportation tickets will also be provided for the duration of the project. Also the travel tickets will be reimbursed according to the Erasmus+ distance calculator.

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteers will also participate in on arrival/orientation training, study sessions on migration and asylum procedure for refugees in Greece, mid and final evaluation meetings to discuss the progress and impact of the their work.

⚠️ Requirements

Volunteers must be comfortable working in a multicultural environment and willing to share responsibilities for cooking, cleaning, and maintaining a shared living space.

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).
