📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Youth Rights and Citizenship Initiative, (also referred to under the acronym YRCI Albania), is an Albanian Youth NGO established in April 2023, by its founder, Dr.Eliona Gremi. In reference to our Act of Incorporation, Statute of Limitation and internal by law, we are a non-commercial, non-governmental, organization whose scope mainly covers (but is not limited to) raising public awareness and knowledge on activism, by providing training opportunities, awareness raising activities, competitions, by writing and implementing projects, as well as advocating on youth rights and awareness. 

The mission of YRCI Albania is multifaceted, focusing on empowering the youth to actively participate in the democratic life of their communities and beyond. It aims to:

Enhance public awareness and knowledge on activism, providing training, awareness-raising activities, and competitions.
Advocate for youth rights and awareness to empower young people by amplifying their voices and championing their rights.
Engage young people not only locally but also nationally and internationally, promoting multiculturalism, experience sharing, peacebuilding, and capacity raising.

💼 What the programme involves

Join CINEBALK, an exciting regional initiative celebrating Balkan cinematic heritage through short films and cultural storytelling. Volunteers will support youth workshops, media production, event organization, and the regional film festival in Albania.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be housed in a shared apartment in Elbasan, fully equipped for a comfortable stay. Most project activities are within walking distance, but when needed, local transportation will be arranged and covered by the hosting organization.

🍲 Food

A monthly food allowance and daily pocket money will be provided in accordance with the official European Solidarity Corps financial guidelines.

🎒 Leisure activities

Deadline: 15/06/2025 22:42

ℹ️ Additional information

Volunteers will receive training on digital storytelling, cultural heritage, and event coordination, with mentorship from film and cultural experts throughout the project.

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).
