📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers on this project will spend just over 5 months (160 days) volunteering for I-Dare for Social Development in Jordan. Volunteers will contribute to a project promoting positive social change through media. The project aims to reach young people in Jordan and beyond with content promoting messages of peace, tolerance and solidarity. This will provide a counternarrative to the extreme and intolerant ideologies which have been a destabilising influence in the region. Volunteer core activities will involve working alongside the I-Dare Action Hub team to produce high quality digital and physical media content such as articles, films/videos, visual art, photography, and info-graphics. As well as supporting the Action Hub, volunteers will engage with another of I-Dare's teams in line with their interest to gain a broader range of skills in either: media and communications, theatre-based work targeting children, or music production. Volunteers will be based in Amman, Jordan's capital
🏠 Accommodation on site
Covered by the sending/hosting organisations: transport to/from London to Amman, accommodation in Amman, cost of visa, monthly stipend for living expenses and medical insurance.
