📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
The hosting organization is a youth information service which aims to enrich young people’s lives and provide them with information about job, free time, education, health and international projects. The volunteer we're looking for will support a team in two domains.
1) Support in the youth information work - The volunteer will get to know the basic tasks and challenges of youth information work, becoming acquainted with the target group of the service such as youth and partners. He/She will become acquainted also with the working methods of youth information work such as information literacy, how to make enquiries, how to edit and design relevant information for young people, giving an insight in youth counselling.
2) Support in media relation - The volunteer will be involved in creating supporting material for various media: this could comprise photos, movies, articles, posters, leaflets, giveaways, the website and even social media channels.
🏠 Accommodation on site
A single room will be provided for the volunteer. Graz is a city of bicycles, so the volunteer will be provided with a bike in spring, summer and early autumn, while a monthly ticket for public transports will be given in late autumn and winter. The volunteer will receive a self-supply allowance of 250 euros per month, and a pocket money of 150 euros per month. The travel expenses from his/her hometown to Austria will be reimbursed according with the limits determined by E.S.C. conditions.
🎒 Leisure activities
The volunteer will attend three official training sessions: a pre-departure training before leaving Italy; an on arrival training in a few weeks after his/her advent in Austria; a midterm training, around the half of the volunteering experience. Additional technical support will be ongoing provided by the hosting organization.
The volunteer will be able to take a German course and to use the European Linguistic Support in order to learn the German language.
