About the project

ESC: FAIS

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

This project will take place in KIA (Korrectie Instituut Aruba), the prison of the island. The volunteers will have the chance to impact the lives of the inmates of the women’s wing of the prison. The project itself will be structured in two weeks, during which the volunteers’ team will participate daily in different activities with the prisoners of KIA. The activities will include music and art production, fashion shows, sport, games, combined with personal and professional development workshops. FAIS (Fashion and Arts in Inclusion Settings) will be a meaningful and powerful experience where the volunteers will have the chance to make a different in the environment of KIA, and to take back home an enriching, rewarding and unique experience. To understand better what we are talking about, have a look to the previous edition! (LINKS: BOOKLET: https://turcostaposibel.eu/amis-the-booklet/ VIDEO: https://turcostaposibel.eu/amis-the-video/ )

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will stay in a large youth house with a male and female dormitory, showers, toilets, a large outside space, a large living room and a kitchen where they will cook their own meals. Transport will be arranged to and from the work activities and for some cultural visits. For free time there is a bus stop just outside, beach and shop are within walking distance. The group will have a collective budget for the weekly grocery shopping and will be responsible for cooking and cleaning. Extremely important will be to fully clean the house, beddings etc at the end of the project.

🎒 Leisure activities

You will be provided with trainings in all aspects of the activity as well as gaining a YOUTHPASS and support around the creation of that. There will also be opportunities for you to train one another, sharing your skills with the rest of the team.

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).
What do we provide ?
  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food
  • pocket money
  • language course
  • Return Week-end
  • Youth Pass and SVI international Volunteer passport
