About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The activities of the hosting organization start from visual arts and center on artworks, explicitly addressing social, political, ecological, and economic questions of the present day. It showcases contemporary art, fosters crucial discussions and communicates contemporary art to a broad audience. It strives to uphold the values of an economy for the common good: human dignity, solidarity and ecological sustainability. You'll be integrated into the daily routine of the art center in a numerous fields of work: project management, communication with artists and art institutions, organizational tasks connected with the events, exhibitions setup, editorial assistance, preparing printing materials and press and public relations, service to visitors, managing social media. While office work hours run during the day, events primarily take place in the evenings and on weekends. Therefore, you'll work 30-35 hours per week, but the exact working days and hours are to be defined together.

🏠 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, but 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 (6 euros per day), 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 tutor and a second personal mentor: they will help you to get part in the daily life of the hosting organization through regular meetings.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: You're preferably a very young person (aged 18-22), interested and strongly motivated in cultural exploration, and, at the same time, ready to give support in organisational tasks. You're a committed person, able to carry out activities autonomously (even if supported by the mentor and the team at each stage of the project), and open and interested in art, society and communication. You don't need to possess a solid education and experience in the arts field, as the role is mainly supportive in administrative and technical tasks.
Deadline: Application deadline: 14/03/2024

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).
