📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
The project is focused on youth empowerment in the context of European Year of Youth. The mission is to strengthen youth participation, increase knowledge about European Youth Goals and European Charter on Local Youth Work. The main areas of activities are: 1. Youth work – assisting the youth workers at the city youth center. 2. European & democratic education – cooperating with EUROPE DIRECT Mińsk Mazowiecki in delivering local activities and workshops for youth. 3. Environmental & global education – social campaigns responding to environmental issues in the local area (ex. air pollution), simple gardening works, preparing field for tree-planting. Example of accompanying activities: cultural animation during local events, language cafes, discussion clubs, intercultural workshops for children & teenagers, creating content for social media, making videos, online webinars, podcasts. The interaction with the local community will depend on the COVID-19 situation.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteers are hosted in the volunteers' house equipped with the necessary facilities and situated in walking distance from the workplaces. Volunteers share rooms amongst 4 or 6 young people of different cultures. Each volunteer receives food allowance which allows him/her to take care of individual dietary needs. There is no need for public transport as Minsk Mazowiecki is a small town. When the activities require the volunteer to commute to the working place, the hosting organisation provides the reimbursement of any transportation expenses.
🎒 Leisure activities
The hosting organisation provides support and training in the area of social animation, intercultural education, communication and non-formal methodology. Volunteers receive content training on European Youth Goals and Europan Charter on Local Youth Work.
