About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

We are approaching the final editions of our project 'A Fling Called Swing,' which is why we are carrying out the last projects in two stages: A Fling Called Swing 16 (Organization) and A Fling Called Swing 17 (Execution). We are looking for writers, playwrights, actors, musicians, and dancers to prepare artistic shows in nursing homes. Spots are very limited. There is also the possibility of incorporating someone for photography and video editing. In the first stage of this project, the primary goal is to prepare and organize a series of festive events, designed to uplift the spirits of elderly residents in nursing homes and community centers who have been deeply affected by the isolation brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. These events will consist of short theater, dance performances, musical pieces, and Christmas-themed shows.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will stay in a volunteer house, with four rooms with several bunk beds and bathrooms. The house includes a kitchen with washing machine and all the elements needed in which the volunteers will cook for themselves so bring some reciepts from your country. Food expenses are covered by De Amicitia. The volunteers are meant to cook their meals and clean.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteers will have an opportunity to live together in a group of people of different nationalities, so they can learn many interesting things from each other and raise their level of cultural tolerance. Also, it's a great experience of working in a team. During this phase, the group will focus on writing the scripts for the performances, ensuring they are available in both English and Spanish to cater to diverse audiences. You can show all your artistic talents and creativity where everyone will learn from each other.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Writers, playwrights, actors, musicians and dancers, photographer and video editor. Preferably with experience, but most importantly they must be resourceful, emphatetics and capable of working in a team and maintaining good communication, since many of the activities will be managed as a team. Speaking Spanish and having a driving license will also be highly valued.
Deadline: No application deadline

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).
