💼 What the programme involves
Kooperativet Fjället is an NGO that runs leisure activities for young people aged 10-20 years old in Rannebergen, Gothenburg Sweden. Our aim is that open youth activities are conducted as a learning process based on young people's participation and influence. At the youth centre the volunteers will work to engage and inspire young people take part in and to create activities. The volunteer will initiate own projects/activities according to abilities and preferences and develop this together with/ for the young people in the youth center. It may be sports, cultural, crafts activities, theatre, music or other. Volunteers will also be working in the daily activities such as card games, ping-pong, basket, baking, handicrafts etc. Volunteers will also work to disseminate information on European opportunities for young people and young adults in Rannebergen and in Angered in general. The volunteers will also support the work of sending young adults to volunteer projects within the ESC.
