About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Volunteer with Kona and be part of a community festival in rural Georgia. Kona is a youth and community centre in Kvemo Chala, Georgia. We work with children, young people and families from rural areas through an after-school club, non-formal education activities and a permaculture community garden. You will be part of the daily life at the youth centre and support our community festival in early October by helping with preparations, decorations, artistic workshops, food service, activities during the festival, and clean-up afterwards. You will co-facilitate musical and educational activities, support local youth in preparing a musical performance, assist with English-language activities, document local cultural heritage, and contribute to visibility. You will have space to implement your own ideas with our support.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will stay in a volunteer house hosted by a local family. The house includes four shared bedrooms with basic furniture (accommodating 2–4 volunteers per room), shared bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and a spacious common living room. You will receive 3-4 meals a day prepared by our team using fresh, locally sourced ingredients and products from the village. This is a great opportunity to experience traditional Georgian cuisine and enjoy meals made from local produce.

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).
