📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

This European Solidarity Corps project takes place at Keila Youth Centre in Keila. The volunteer supports youth workers in the daily activities of the youth centre and helps create a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment for young people aged 7–16. The centre offers a variety of activities where young people can spend their free time in a meaningful way, including creative workshops, sports activities, movie evenings, and different events. The volunteer engages with young people in the open youth space, supports their ideas and initiatives, and assists in organising activities, workshops, and special events such as youth nights and cultural evenings. The project provides an opportunity to gain practical experience in youth work, develop communication and organisational skills, and take part in intercultural exchange while contributing to the local community.

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).
