🏢 About the local organisation

ASIRYS is a non-profit organization that engages youth in order to develop them into leaders of positive and sustainable change for their communities.

💼 What the programme involves

If you love art and want to grow personally and professionally, we invite you to apply for the fifth edition of Arts Lab. So far, 21 artists from 15 countries have been involved in a unique creative process that facilitates positive changes by designing experiential museums inspired by the local cultural heritage. You will work with 11 other artists, creating and exploring Romanian culture, learning about other cultures and artistic approaches, and meeting over 300 youths in different contexts. During the mobility, we will visit the Republic of Moldova, where we will facilitate Arts Lab Caravan.

🏠 Accommodation on site

We will provide accommodation in double room, in our youth center (Act House, Cucuteni no.8, oraș Târgu Frumos, jud. Iași, Romania) - check it in 3D: https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=qfesimaqz6c. You will receive 150 euro/month (food money) and 4 euro/per day (pocket money). These money are enough for the living standards in Târgu Frumos. We will reimburse the travel costs based on a lump sum and we will help you figure out how to reach us. Târgu Frumos is a small and safe town, close to Iaşi. Iași is the second biggest city in Romania and it is considered the cultural capital of Romania.

🎒 Leisure activities

Our training programs include Romanian language, leadership, project management, and two trainings provided by the Romanian National Agency. You'll also have the chance to collaborate with other passionate volunteers and learn from former Arts Lab participants about their unique experiences. Our volunteers frequently describe Arts Lab as a life-changing experience, and we're committed to staying in touch for the long term. In fact, we're already planning a conference for all 100 Arts Lab volunteers in 2028!

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).
