About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Kona is a rural youth and community centre located in Kvemo Chala village in Georgia, working with young people, children and families from rural areas. Our centre provides non-formal education opportunities, an after-school club and serves as a hub for local initiatives. Recently, we established a permaculture community garden for environmental education. Volunteers will help organize daily summer camp activities for local children and youth, including language practice, sports, environmental education, and arts and crafts. You will also support the community garden through hands-on gardening and learning about permaculture, and take part in solidarity activities such as clean-ups, assisting at the kindergarten, and supporting elderly residents and people with special needs.

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).
