About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The Šilainiai Public Library is a department of Kaunas Municipal Vincas Kudirka Public Library. The library operates not only as a traditional district library but also as a community center for the Šilainiai neighborhood in Kaunas City. We organize various events, training activities, lectures, and workshops for people of different age groups. We need an international volunteer to assist in the library's “Children's Space” by organizing educational events, workshops, and game activities for our young readers. The volunteer would also help out the library staff, assisting them with the routine library tasks and management of the library's archival reserves. We also invite the volunteer, according to their ability to teach foreign languages to adults.

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 ?
