💼 What the programme involves

This initiative empowers disadvantaged girls and women by providing training in sewing, tailoring, and brand development while also improving access to social and economic services for orphans, vulnerable children, and youth. The goal of the deployment is to boost CEFOVID-UG’s public image and stakeholder engagement through media relations, content creation, and event management. Volunteers will • Develop and implement communication strategies • Manage social media - creating content, engaging followers, and monitoring trends • Assist in event management, including press conferences and public appearances • Track and analyze PR campaigns effectiveness • Support online fundraising efforts.

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).
