📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The Bratislava Volunteer Center (BDC) is a civic association founded on 28 November 2012. The volunteer center is here for all those who would like to selflessly help others through volunteering. It is suitable for individuals, but also for organizations. BDC has a lot of volunteering offers to choose from. We offer full scope of volunteering services: 1. We connect the organizations with volunteers who can help them: ..... 2. We communicate with the potential volunteers and we recommend them to the organizations themselves. We inform the new volunteers about their rights, obligations, ethical principles and ask about their expectations. 3. We work with volunteer organizations - we provide educational volunteer managment trainings for organizations on how to work with volunteers, we consult their volunteer programs and create new tailor- made volunteer programs form them which we also implement in various organizations 4. We create and coordinate volunteer programs (short- term or long term) and projects (one- time volunteering) in the social field, volunteering in the field of environment, culture, education, humanitarian volunteering, volunteering abroad, etc... 5. We appreciate, honor and support volunteers and coordinators through the Srdce na dlani event, which aims to increase the status of volunteering and its development.

💼 What the programme involves

Through this 12-month project we would like to contribute to the personal development of ESC participant and services of BDC - motivating the local community for volunteering which will be one of the main activities of the participant through graphic design and our social media. A participant will engage in activities such as: support promotion of volunteering in secondary schools, motivate people to volunteer mainly via making creative content (photography, video, posters, flyers) at BDC events, promotion of our other partners and their volunteering offers, taking and editing the visual materials and preparation for publishing. A volunteer in BDC participates in all our events where he/she provides various kinds of support, mainly related to the mentioned tasks. We welcome volunteer's own initiatives and ideas how to improve advertising of the organization, etc. The volunteer will work on own personal project, prepare public workshop and presentation for students about ESC program.

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).
