About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The hosting organization is a centre for contemporary art. It focuses on art production dealing with social, political, economical and ecological issues of our time. It has a public gallery space in the centre of Graz, which is a place where it can make art happen. The aim of the centre is to actively engage community in art. At present, it works in particular on the integration of Ukrainian artists, along with various other projects. What are the main fields of your volunteering work? Supporting in daily gallery work (maintenance of gallery space, welcoming visitors, tidying before and after work hours), in daily office work and in practical assignments; assisting at the coffee bar; supporting in organising art exhibitions, performances and workshops; assisting in organising events and publishing books; keeping and expanding the archive; managing social media platforms. As usual in all E.S.C. projects, as a participant you will receive a pocket money (€180 per month).

🏠 Accommodation on site

You aren’t alone, as the hosting organization welcomes 2 volunteers! You will live together for free in an apartment: the bedrooms are single, and you’ll share cooking, washing, laundry, bathroom, and social facilities. You will also be provided with a bicycle in order to easily move in Graz, which is a nice small town. In addition to the pocket money, you will also receive an adequate allowance for your food. The travel from Italy to Austria and back is fully reimbursed.

🎒 Leisure activities

You will attend three official training sessions: a pre-departure training before leaving Italy; a so-called “on-arrival training” in a few weeks after your advent in Austria; a “midterm training”, around at half of your volunteering experience. You will be offered a German language course. You will be supported by both a task-related mentor and a second personal mentor: they will help you to get part in the daily life of the hosting organization through regular meetings. But, in a more general sense, the whole team of the art centre will try to give as much support as you need.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: As you’ll assist the team and will fulfill practical assignments, you don’t need to have attended formal studies in art and culture. But the hosting organization expects you show an interest in art, and a strong motivation to explore cultural field. Commitment, trust, autonomy, openness, ability in communication and interest in society and public relations complete your profile. We need you’re ready to support us in various organisational tasks, and, for this, it is important that you have at least a good knowledge of English.

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).
