📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The Infinite Opportunities association is a non-governmental organization in public benefit, established in early 2010 and uniting the efforts of young people to promote common European values ​​and capacity building in the field of youth work. The main goals of the association are to work actively on youth projects, activities and initiatives for promoting non-formal education with a focus on human rights education and sustainable development. The association is also focused on supporting the exchange, discussion and implementation of ideas, projects and initiatives promoting open social dialogue and equal participation of all minority groups in the social, cultural and political life of the country, as well as with the engagement of public attention and the competent authorities on the problems of social integration of various vulnerable groups in Bulgarian society. Over the years, the team of the organization has successfully initiated and implemented projects promoting tolerance and cultural diversity and targeting disadvantaged young people in different vulnerable situations and backgrounds, LGBTI +, migrants and refugees and young people with special needs, in particular sensory disabilities. Since 2013, the team of the organization has established itself as one of the main youth training teams working on the topic of human rights education and promotion of tolerance and non-discrimination in the youth sector. In the period 2015-2017 the organization was the informal Coordinator for Bulgaria of the No Hate Speech Movement campaign by the Council of Europe and ever since 2010 supports and holds various campaign days, street actions and events of different NGOs, municipal structures and informal groups on the topic against hate speech and the protection of human rights at the national level.

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
