About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

For 30 years, EHO has worked to create a fairer society, emphasizing human dignity, philanthropy, equality, and social justice for all. As an Education Assistant in the "Poverty to Power" program, you will provide educational and psychosocial support and interventions to empower children facing social exclusion, poverty, forced marriages, violence, abuse, and deprivation. Your role includes facilitating creative workshops using non-formal educational methods (arts, crafts, drawing, puppetry, and language learning). You'll also offer one-on-one support for children's learning and homework, fostering positive, respectful relationships. Collaborating with other volunteers and staff, you'll help tailor the program to meet the diverse needs of the children. Additionally, you'll monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the program to ensure children improvements. Your cooperation with the Center for Social Care and Center for Migrants will further enhance the project's impact and outreach.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be accommodated in a spacious apartment in Novi Sad, with each volunteer enjoying their own private room. The apartment will have at least three bedrooms, along with a shared bathroom and a fully equipped kitchen. All necessary furniture will be provided. You will receive 470 EUR monthly to cover meal, communication, and local transport costs. Transportation will be arranged through public buses in Novi Sad, providing easy access to project locations. When necessary, EHO cars will provide transportation, ensuring volunteers can reach their destinations efficiently and safely.

🎒 Leisure activities

You will participate in a training program designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills to support marginalized communities effectively. Sessions will focus on the cultural and educational needs of Roma children, children in shelters, and refugee children at Migration and Reception Centers. You will learn about the unique challenges these groups face and strategies for fostering inclusion and empowerment, as well as understand the support systems available to them. Training will also cover project management, intercultural competencies, and effective communication in diverse settings.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Ideal candidates for the Education Assistant position should demonstrate a genuine passion for working with children and a commitment to social inclusion and empowerment. Creative and innovative mindset, capable of designing and leading various educational workshops tailored to the specific needs of Roma children, children in shelters, and refugee children at Migration and Reception Centers. A proactive approach to problem-solving and the ability to motivate and inspire children are valuable attributes. Volunteers should be compassionate, patient, and empathetic, understanding the challenges faced by marginalized communities and committed to making a positive difference in their lives. Volunteers should be adaptable, open-minded, and willing to learn. Previous experience in education, social work, or community development is advantageous but not mandatory. We are looking for more volunteers for this position who will work together.

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).
