About the project

ESC: Editor of an online magazine for healthy lifestyle

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Based in the vibrant Zografou district of Athens, near the University campus, our organization, the EEEK Athens, is a youth-focused NGO dedicated to empowering young individuals, especially those from migrant backgrounds. Established by a group of 20 visionaries and driven by a core team of five dedicated members, we aim to address two critical areas: youth entrepreneurship and healthy living. Our primary objective is to cultivate entrepreneurial skills among university students, preparing them for the competitive landscape of the free market. We place a significant emphasis on integrating marginalized youth, particularly from migrant backgrounds, into our activities. This integration not only fosters a sense of community but also promotes diversity and inclusivity. Another key focus area is promoting a healthy lifestyle among the youth. Recognizing the shift towards physical activities during the pandemic, we are now taking a step further by introducing concepts of nutritious diets and the benefits of microgreens. Our goal is to break the stereotype that superfoods are only for the affluent, making them accessible to all, especially young people. Our target groups are primarily university students in Zografou, with a special focus on young individuals from migrant backgrounds. Through our various activities, we strive to create a supportive environment where these young people can develop their skills, enhance their well-being, and contribute positively to society.

💼 What the programme involves

Are you ready to dive into the exciting world of digital media? Join our awesome team in Athens as an Editor for our online magazine with the European Solidarity Corps! We’re looking for passionate volunteers who love storytelling and creativity. In this role, you’ll get hands-on experience with Adobe InDesign, crafting beautiful magazine layouts. You’ll write cool articles with a little help from ChatGPT and snap your own amazing photos to go with your stories. Plus, you’ll join fun, regular meetings with our team and other volunteers to brainstorm and shape the magazine’s look and content every month. This is a perfect gig for budding journalists, graphic designers, and photographers. You’ll build your skills, work in a super diverse and supportive environment, and see your creative ideas come to life. It’s not just about making a magazine—it’s about making a difference and being part of a community. Let’s create something amazing together!

🏠 Accommodation on site

Let’s talk about where you’ll live, eat, and get around! You’ll stay in a shared apartment with other awesome volunteers. You’ll either have your own room or share with a roommate, plus you’ll have a shared bathroom and kitchen. Don’t worry, the apartment has all the appliances you need for comfortable living. Every two weeks, you’ll get food money to cover your meals. And the best part? You’ll receive a free monthly ticket for public transportation in Athens, so exploring the city will be super easy. We’ve got everything set up to make your stay as smooth and enjoyable as possible!

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).
