📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

As part of the activities of the volunteering team for “Balkan Hotspot Youth Media Lab”, volunteers will get accustomed to the use of media tools through the already existing structures of the project. Their personal skills, especially related to digital skills and digital content creation, will be boosted through workshops and learning activities. Tasks include: -Digital content production for social topics (articles, videos, photo galleries, social media campaigns, radio shows and podcasts) -Contribute to the creation of “Balkan Beats” volunteer magazine -Co-organise a series of open media workshops, to boost digital competences and media literacy among target groups. Open to the public with focus on involving youth with fewer opportunities. Team will also address the European priority “Enforcing youth skills and media literacy”, with workshops and events linked to World Youth Skills day on 15th July 2025. Working hours are 4-6 hours per day, from Monday to Friday.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be accommodated in a fully equipped building located in the city centre (str. Anagnostara 13) near the main bus and train station of the city. It is an autonomous 5 floored building, with two living rooms and a big kitchen, showers in the common floors and toilets in every floor. Volunteers who participate in other USB projects in the city also stay in the house. Each volunteer will share their room with one-three more people (we have double and big quadruple rooms).

🎒 Leisure activities

Task-related training and workshops are provided by the organisation.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Volunteers will have to be 18-30 years old and be genuinely interest in the project. The selection of the participants is mostly based on their motivation and personal interest in the topics of the project. Our ideal volunteer candidate is an open minded person willing to learn, to improve her/himself and to help other people. It is important to be ready to work in a team and to share the daily life with people from different backgrounds. It is not necessary to have a previous technical knowledge of media. Although it is not required to have a high level of English, the volunteers need to have at least a basic knowledge of the language for their everyday communication with international and local people but also for their safety. Applicants should also be aware of the limit of 12 months of ESC they have in total to participate in projects, with the project's duration being 55 days. Applicants should also be sure they can join the project for its full duration, as defined in the starting and ending dates.

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).
