💼 What the programme involves

As an association, we run different projects that support our purpose: actively helping society to change to a sustainable future. * We organise a lot of CleanUps! Bringing people together to clean up the environment is a very useful strategy to us, because aside from the direct impact of less waste in nature, it raises awareness for the issue. * We go to schools to pick up trash with kids and talk about why that is useful / necessary and what would have to happen so there won't be any more trash in the future. * We are currently trying to establish a repair-café with the main focus on bicycles. People can come in and get access to all the tools and help to self-repair their bikes. We would like someone with : General Project management skill, Fundraising, Organizing volunteers, Working with kids. Please apply through the following link https://forms.gle/YeeYUm7nD2tjys9d6

🏠 Accommodation on site

We are happy to find a room for you in a shared flat. Quite a few students live in our city and they usually live in shared flats so you will have the opportunity to live in a community with other young adults. As for transport: everything is in walking distance since the city center isn't very big. But you will also get a ticket for public transport, so you can meet up with other volunteers as well as exploring the region on your own.

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).
What do we provide ?
  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food
  • pocket money
  • language course
  • Return Week-end
  • Youth Pass and SVI international Volunteer passport
