💼 What the programme involves

Merhamet is committed to assisting IDPs, returnees, and vulnerable families in need through humanitarian assistance and socio-economic empowerment. Your main goal will be to enhance the organization’s public image and visibility through strategic media relations, content creation, and event management while developing and implementing communication strategies to boost stakeholder engagement and awareness of humanitarian efforts. Your main tasks will be: ● Developing and implementing communication strategies, including crafting messages and choosing channels ● Managing social media by creating content, pitching stories, posting updates, engaging with followers, and ensuring brand consistency ● Assisting in organizing and managing events like fairs, press conferences, and public appearances ● Tracking and analyzing PR campaign results, adjust strategies as needed, and report on effectiveness.

All the costs associated with the volunteering will be covered by the grant. The volunteer will be provided round flight ticket and a lockable and safe apartment, with a bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom in the city center near the office premises. Public transport is not commonly used, and the volunteer can use bicycles, walk, or even use public electric scooters.

ℹ️ Additional information

The volunteer will attend a pre-departure training to prepare for the opportunity, as well as an on-arrival training which will introduce the participants to the host country. Along with Code of Conduct orientation and Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults training, Merhamet can provide training on the Project Cycle Management to enable better understanding of programming and conducting activities. Volunteers will be offered the opportunity to participate in other Merhamet’s capacity-building activities.

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).
