📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
The volunteers will be involved in the daily activities of the organisation and will collaborate in the creation of events and material to support the deaf and hearing-impaired population of Thessaloniki and Northern Greece. For example, they will join the events and seminars organised to raise society's awareness about the deaf and hearing-impaired community and they will promote and help in the organisation of educational trips and cultural activities. Part of the activities will be performed with the Coordinating organisation United Societies of Balkans, addressing societal needs through the Media-Lab project Balkan Hotspot (www.balkanhotspot.org). The participants will have a unique occasion to be involved in solidarity activities in another country, counting on a structure that will take care of all their needs and boost their learning outcomes. The volunteers will give their services for a maximum of 30 hours per week, five days per week.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers are going to be accommodated in a fully equipped building located in the city centre near the main bus and train station of the city. It is an autonomous 5 floored building of 150 m2 per floor and a terrace on the 6th floor. There are two living rooms and a big kitchen, showers in the common floors and toilets in every floor. In the building there are also accommodated the volunteers who participate in other projects in the city coordinated by our organisation. In the building are living up to 35 volunteers.
⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profil: The selection of the participants is mostly based on their motivation and personal interest in the topics of the project. Nevertheless, we will give priority to youth with special needs and high motivation, especially people with hearing impairments or having a relationship with people with hearing impairments (in their family, friends or working place). This would facilitate the contact with the deaf community. Anyway we encourage every young person interested to enagage solidarity activities through volunteering and also media production to apply and join us in Thessaloniki!
