💼 What the programme involves

DUE TO A DROP OUT WE OPENED THE RECRUITMENT AGAIN! DUE TO THE SHORT TIME WE HAVE, DO NOT APPLY IF YOU NEED VISA TO ENTER GREECE! The volunteers will support the implementation of the ecological festival "GreenWave" in Thessaloniki and other activities run by the hosting organisation Ecological Movement of Thessaloniki. The Festival will last three days, it is organised outdoor and includes vegan food, speeches, concerts, organic and ecological market, NGO fair and much more. The volunteers may help in setting up the space of the Festival, in the kitchen, as technical support, cleaning, etc, according to the needs and to their capacity and willingness. Except of the Festival, they support several actions in Thessaloniki and surrounding areas, such as clean ups, beach cleanings, social kitchen for people in need, mapping of the cut and missing trees in public areas. The duration of the project is 28 days, including the travel days.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be accommodated in a fully equipped, autonomous 5 floor building of 150 m2 per floor and a terrace on the 6th floor. There are two living rooms and a big kitchen, showers in the common floors and toilets in every floor. Volunteers who participate in other projects in the city coordinated by USB also stay in the house. Each volunteer will share their room with one-three more people. Food is provided from a catering service from Monday-Friday (3 meals per day). The house manager arranges all cleaning tasks and monitors the space daily. Monthly city bus card is also covered.

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).
