About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Our association works on promoting the rights of refugees and the inclusion of refugees in the local community. The broader goal of the association is to include persons seeking international and subsidiary protection and persons under international or subsidiary protection in the community and to sensitize the citizens of the Republic of Croatia to unique challenges this group faces. We operate primarily in the areas of our group's human rights advocacy, social work and education. The activities we are now undertaking are related to assistance in employment, education and community involvement. A regular activity, i.e. projects, that we run are refugee programming courses, and we have just launched a new social mentoring project for young refugees. The focus of the association is on young refugees aged 18-30, given that there are no programs targeting this group exclusively. Most of the activities and projects of other associations are focused on families and children, and this group is often left without adequate support. Through our work, we are promoting equality, solidarity, tolerance, cooperation and community building.

💼 What the programme involves

We provide support to refugees and asylum seekers in different aspects of their inclusion in society and one of them is education - we teach adult refugees Croatian, English language, programming and digital literacy. We believe that everybody has the right to equal opportunities regarding their education. We are looking for a volunteer who will be a part of our adult education team. Tasks will include assisting our teachers and students in programming classes (no need of programming knowledge), supporting our students in their learning process, monitoring the progress of our students, communicating on our channels and in email with our students, assisting to Croatian language classes (no need to know the language) teaching digital skills and English language and similar activities involving teaching and adult education.

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).
