About the project

ESC: Community Inclusion

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Main tasks of the volunteers:

Create an extensive booklet titled "Community Clubs: Tools and Techniques," containing a diverse array of activities aimed at community building. This guide thoroughly outlines activities and games to encourage community involvement, serving as a valuable tool for fostering connections and unity among communities.

Organising community-building activities involving the local community.

Organising language clubs, board game nights, quiz nights, etc. for the local community.

Working on a booklet called Community Clubs - Tools and Techniques.

Recruiting volunteers in local schools and promoting the ESC Programme.

The volunteers will be organising several events for the local community, for example, conversational language clubs, quiz nights, and board game nights. During the language clubs locals can exercise their knowledge in foreign
languages. Volunteers will prepare different topics, making the conversations and debates fun for the participants. Most importantly volunteers will organise the clubs in their mother tongues if it interests the locals. Other language clubsmay vary depending on the first languages of the volunteers. The quiz nights are organised on the first Monday of every month in a cafe, where the volunteers put together a quiz containing 8 rounds of 10 questions each.
Usually, one or two local volunteers also help in order for the non-English speakers to understand the quiz. The board game nights are organised every last Friday of the month, where our association is the co-organiser together
with another local association. Volunteers can integrate within the local community by playing board games together. The volunteers will also need to work on a booklet called Community Clubs - Tools and Techniques, in which
they will write down what events, and clubs they organised, and how it could be used as a guide for future volunteers. They will also visit local schools where they will talk about volunteering, the ESC Programme and they will try to recruit
volunteers.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Food: volunteers can use their food budget (150 EUR/month) to cater for themselves. They will receive 120 EUR/month pocket money. Transport arrangements: international travel expenses will be reimbursed according to ESC Programme Guide, and green travel is encouraged.

🍲 Food

We will provide food allowance and pocket money to volunteers. The food allowance is 5 EUR/day (approx. 150 EUR/month) and the pocket money is 4 EUR/day (approx. 120 EUR/month).

📍 About the location

Our organization is based in the center of Miercurea Ciuc, a small town with a population
of about 34,000 inhabitants. It lies in the Székely Land, a mainly Hungarian-speaking
ethnocultural region in eastern Transylvania, and is situated in the Olt River valley.
Miercurea Ciuc has a cool continental climate, without a dry season, although summer is
wetter than winter and with a cold summer. Although activities take place in Romania,
most of the locals are Hungarian speakers.

🎒 Leisure activities

Training will happen upon your arrival. You will be presented with the cultural differences, will take part in a city tour, and meet your future mentor. We will also make sure you take part in the training organized by the Romanian NA: the On-Arrival Training and the Mid-Term Evaluation. For the activities, you will be fully presented with the details once you arrive and will be given all the necessary resources for you to do your research and prepare. We offer Hungarian or Romanian language support (online or in person). We will encourage you to use the General Online Training.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for 3 volunteer between 18 and 30 years old who has the urge to develop their communication and cooperation skills and to recognize their strengths and weaknesses within a team; wants to improve their practical skills in the planning and implementation of activities, wants to have a meaningful contribution to society, wishes to step out of their comfort zone, who is responsible, flexible, motivated, open-minded and able to attend the full duration of the project. The volunteer is encouraged to be creative, and proactive, to come up with new ideas, and to use their own skills.

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).
What do we provide ?
  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food
  • pocket money
  • language course
  • Return Week-end
  • Youth Pass and SVI international Volunteer passport
