📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Do you love cooking? We are looking for a skilled volunteer to help us design fine dining and artistic dishes that integrate the local cultural heritage, create unique installations together with 11 other artists, develop your own recipes, and engage with the local communities through food. You will also have the chance to facilitate workshops and activities for young people in town and explore with them how people cooked 7000 years ago during the Cucuteni times or discover the multicultural cuisine of the minorities that have lived in Târgu Frumos. If you have experience in cooking, dream of turning it into art, and want to be part of a project that makes a difference, we would love to hear from you! Please send your portfolio by filling out this form: https://forms.gle/uaZoagyZ4PP3FNyR7.

🏠 Accommodation on site

We will provide accommodation in double room, in our youth center (Act House, Cucuteni no.8, oraș Târgu Frumos, jud. Iași, Romania) - check it in 3D: https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=qfesimaqz6c. You will receive 150 euro/month (food money) and 4 euro/per day (pocket money). These money are enough for the living standards in Târgu Frumos. We will reimburse the travel costs based on a lump sum and we will help you figure out how to reach us. Târgu Frumos is a small and safe town, close to Iaşi. Iași is the second biggest city in Romania and it is considered the cultural capital of Romania.

🎒 Leisure activities

Our training programs include Romanian language, non-formal education and two trainings provided by the Romanian National Agency. You'll also have the chance to collaborate with other passionate volunteers and learn from former Arts Lab participants about their unique experiences. Our volunteers frequently describe Arts Lab as a life-changing experience, and we're committed to staying in touch for the long term. In fact, we're already planning a conference for all 100 Arts Lab volunteers in 2028!

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 ?
