About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Eastpackers facilitates volunteering opportunities for young people from The Netherlands in Armenia at Armenian Progressive Youth, an NGO based in the capital city Yerevan. AYP has recently established a new Youth Center which is part of the global Planet One initiative present in 3 European and 3 African countries. In this space young activists and climate-engaged youth can run their projects and campaigns, produce materials and arrange meetings and events. The space is flexible and designed by young people, for young people. We will provide space for everything from small-scale solar projects to large global climate campaigns. AYP expects ESC volunteers to participate, support in the organization of different activities at our new centre as well as initiate their own. More information: https://apy.am

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will be accommodated in a private furnished room with a kitchenette in an international dormitory. The volunteers will receive pocket money, food allowance and transport costs as part of the ESC program. Armenian language course will be offered to volunteers to ensure their quick integration, as well as a mentor, who is a former ESC/Erasmus+ participants from the network of the organisation. There will be team meetings, monthly deep-dive sessions and capacity building activities, offered by the hosting organisation.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteers are expected to participate in the daily work of the APY's Youth Center, helping staff members and youth workers to carry out the activities program for adolescents and young people aged 13-30. The learning possibilities for volunteers include: - Support and development of the environmental activities, initiation of their own workshops and seminars; - Learning and helping to develop activities in regions on environmental activism and youth work; - Organising linguistic workshops for children and young people; - Content creation for social media and website

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: This activity (with Eastpackers as coordinating organization) is only available for young people from The Netherlands (18-30 years). Young people from other programme countries are advised to approach a sending/coordinating organization in their own country.
Deadline: No application deadline

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).
