🏢 About the local organisation

Mission
The World of Pinocchio Association is a non-profit organization active in Panciu, Vrancea County, which acts mainly in the educational, social and volunteer fields.

The objectives proposed by the association are:

contributing to the dialogue and social and psychological development of youth in the city of Panciu with specific attention to the most disadvantaged categories,
carrying out non-formal education activities, which give children and young people tools for developing creativity and personal expressiveness and which can directly address the inherent educational objectives of literacy, personal hygiene, respect for those around them and for the environment;
encouraging the principle of active social volunteering towards the youth of the city of Panciu and its concrete implementation;
reducing the social causes that generate poverty, social exclusion, and marginalization of disadvantaged categories;
eliminating social ills such as illiteracy, school dropout and lack of employment for the youth of the city of Panciu.

Making future parents responsible for the education, childhood and personal hygiene of their children.
Reducing illiteracy and alcoholism.
Training and preparation to face life with conscience and responsibility.
Active involvement of the youth of the city of Panciu in social activities towards the disadvantaged population, aware that they are building their future in a more favorable environment for themselves and their children.

💼 What the programme involves

ESC volunteers will take part in dynamic non-formal educational activities designed to inspire creativity and personal growth. Through engaging workshops in recycling, music, painting, and theatre, volunteers will work alongside children to explore self-expression and skill development. By using a variety of materials and interactive methods, these activities will encourage physical and sensory development while fostering emotional, social, and cognitive growth. Volunteers will play an active role in shaping creative environments, storytelling sessions, and hands-on experiences that promote learning in a fun and inclusive way. Beyond supporting the children, volunteers will also enhance their own artistic abilities, teamwork, and adaptability, making this an enriching experience for everyone involved.

ℹ️ Additional information

Volunteers will attend the On-Arrival Training and Mid-Term Meeting, organized by the Romanian National Agency. Volunteers will receive mentorship sessions throughout the project and Romanian language classes. The participant will actively engage in non-formal education activities, supported by our dedicated teachers and staff. They will also work closely with a mentor to ensure the experience aligns with their expectations and goals.

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).
