💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers on this project will spend 6 months (188 days) with IDare for Sustainable Development, supporting the delivery of a project aiming to enhance socio-economic empowerment of women and young people in Jordan. The project will support IDare's Creative Hub, a makers space and fabrication lab which builds opportunities for the local community to increase their entrepreneurship skills and employability within the creative and cultural sectors. The volunteers will support the planning and hands-on delivery of IDare's creative fabrication activities, as well as working on communications, project outreach, and promoting the work of IDare and the young people they will be working with.
