About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

We’re looking for 1–2 psychologists or therapists who want to explore the intersection between art, wellbeing, and community work. Arts Lab 7.0 is a creative residency and ESC volunteering project happening in a small Romanian town, bringing together international artists and local youth. This year, we want to bring emotional safety and reflection even closer to the heart of the process and youth. If you believe in the healing power of art, if you’re open to working in a multicultural setting, and if you feel called to hold space for others, this might be your place. You don’t have to be an artist. Just someone who deeply understands how art can help people grow. Check the info-pack: https://bit.ly/artslab7. To have your application considered, simply fill in the form: https://forms.gle/dKU5HQgkT5ueZ5ndA. We will keep this call open until we find the last member of our team! So far we selected 13 artists from 9 countries.

🏠 Accommodation on site

We will provide accommodation in double & triple room, in our youth center (Act House, Cucuteni no.8, Târgu Frumos, 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, located close to Iași, which is the second-largest city in Romania and a vibrant cultural space.

🎒 Leisure activities

Our training programs include Romanian language, diverse crafting and non-formal methods, 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!

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: It takes us time to find the right people, that’s why our selection process is different. In Arts Lab, we don’t just look for volunteers. We look for youth ready to build something meaningful. This time, we are searching for 1–2 therapists or psychologists, aged 22–35, only from EU countries, who believe in the power of art as a tool for healing, reflection, and connection. If you’re someone who is emotionally grounded and curious, who wants to work alongside 15 international artists, live in a shared house, support a community process in a small town, and gently bring emotional awareness into creative work, we’d love to hear from you. You don’t need to be an artist, but we look for someone who deeply understands how art can help people grow. If this resonates, apply here: https://forms.gle/k9NV43hS3bcuaHNF6
Deadline: 20/07/2025 12:00

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).
