About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

This is a team-volunteering focused on intercultural education, social animation and youth empowerment. The mission is to strengthen youth participation, increase knowledge about European Youth Goals and European Charter on Local Youth Work. It also aims at developing intercultural dialogue and understanding, as well as promoting positive thinking and tolerance. The main areas of activities are: 1. Summer camp for kids - creating intercultural activities, workshops and animation. 2. Youth work – assisting the youth workers at the local youth center. 3. Youth Festival - joining the local youth team in creating the annual event for young people. Additionally the volunteers are invited to contribute to the EBU environmental mission of tree-planting. Example of accompanying activities: language cafes, discussion clubs, cooking workshops, social campaigns about environmental or european topics, creating content for social media, making videos, podcasts.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers are hosted in the volunteers' house equipped with the necessary facilities and situated in walking distance from the workplaces. Volunteers share rooms amongst 2 or 3 young people of different cultures. Each volunteer receives food allowance which allows him/her to take care of the individual dietary needs. There is no need for public transport as Minsk Mazowiecki is a small town. When the activities require the volunteer to commute to the working place, the hosting organisation provides the reimbursement of any transportation expenses.

🎒 Leisure activities

The hosting organisation provides support and training in the area of social animation, intercultural education, communication and non-formal methodology. Volunteers receive content training on European Youth Goals and Europan Charter on Local Youth Work. Depending on the volunteer's interest the organisation may also offer training or practical experience in other areas such as project management or event coordination. Volunteers receive practical instructions and guide on the simple manual tasks in the field of gardening and environmental protection.

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).
