About the project

ESC at Center for European Initiatives in Sumy, Ukraine

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Eastpackers werkt al 4 jaar samen met het Center for European Initiatives in de Oekraïense stad Sumy. Samen met andere vrijwilligers leid je 'Euroclubs', discussie- en debatactiviteiten in het Engels op middelbare scholen. Ook organiseer je buitenschoolse activiteiten met een internationale dimensie. In Sumy maak je onderdeel uit van een internationale groep van circa 5 vrijwilligers. Zij wonen verdeeld over twee goed onderhouden appartementen rond het centrum van de stad. Sumy is een middelgrote stad van ongeveer 160.000 inwoners en is overwegend Russischtalig. Er zijn hier geen veiligheidsrisico’s en de stad ligt niet in of nabij de afgescheiden republieken Donetsk en Luhansk. Dit project is beschikbaar voor 2 vrijwilligers per jaar, voor periode van 4 tot 8 maanden. Heb je interesse? We brengen je graag in contact met de projectmanager, Anasasia Mazur (spreekt vloeiend Engels) en de zes Nederlanders die in de afgelopen jaren in Sumy vrijwilligerswerk hebben gedaan.
