For project-related activities, transport costs are covered by the project.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteer will take part in on training sessions designed to support integration and preparation for the role. The training includes an introduction to ArtisA and the European Solidarity Corps (ESC), cultural orientation, and an overview of the working context. It also covers roles and responsibilities, health, safety and well-being, teamwork, non-formal learning, reflection methods, and available support systems such as mentors and coordinators. The aim is to ensure a smooth integration, personal growth, and confidence throughout the experience.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: The potential participant is a proactive and motivated individual with a strong interest in social impact, cultural exchange, and community engagement. They are not expected to be artists, but should be curious about how art and culture can be used as tools for education, inclusion, and positive change in society. We are looking for someone who is responsible, open-minded, and willing to take initiative in supporting daily activities and projects. The participant should feel comfortable working in a dynamic environment, interacting with the public, and collaborating within an international team. An interest in communication, media, event support, or community work is an advantage, as volunteers will contribute to documentation, storytelling, and promotion of the foundation’s activities. Flexibility, teamwork, and a strong motivation to contribute to meaningful social and cultural projects are essential qualities for this role.

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).
