📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
In the makerspace, the volunteer will have the opportunity to learn skills in the field of new technologies and then develop creative activities for young people independently. He will accompany and support them in the creation of group projects. He/she may also carry out a personal project (alone or with others). The volunteer can be specialized in any field of ICT, such as programming, robotics or 3D design (non-exhaustive list). The makerspace is equipped with machines that can be used by the volunteer: hand tools, computers, soldering irons, robots, 3-D printers and a laser cutting machine. The makerspace is aimed at a young audience, including high school students, primary school, day care centers, etc.
🏠 Accommodation on site
- Accommodation in a student house (fully equipped and furnished)
Many other volunteers are also housed in the same house
- kitchen available for cooking in the accommodation. In the building of the workplace there is a large canteen and a snack bar where you can get your food. There are also many places to eat in the area
- access to public transport (free and good connections between the accommodation and the workplace). Also the possibility to share a car
🎒 Leisure activities
The volunteer has the constant opportunity to further his or her education during his or her voluntary service. For example, they can take language courses (useful as the Makerspace is very international and many different languages are spoken). But he/she can also take other trainings. From our side, there is usually a first aid course that everyone who works with us should do. In addition, further training courses are held regularly to learn the subject matter of the workshops. These are led by the trainers who work in the Makerspace. The volunteer is constantly accompanied by coaches.
