📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Social Atelier is the program of DKolektiv designed to offer services and activities in the local community that can contribute to overcoming social exclusion and encouraging social integration of citizens, communities and groups. We are looking for two volunteers who will assist us in designing and implementing the program of various activities of the Social Atelier: • Design and implementation of workshops with one of the groups at risk of social exclusion, eg. elderly people, unemployed, people with disabilities • Language course for users • Mapping and collaboration with local organisations with programs aimed at social inclusion • Promoting European values and ESC via public events, campaigns and social networks • Animating various types of social clubs and board game evenings • Research implementation. Social Atelier is based on the deliberative approach in which everyone is given the opportunity to participate in the creation and implementation of the content.

Volunteers will have single bedrooms and will share kitchen and bathroom. The volunteer will be given monthly food money and pocket money which will be predetermined.

At date of arrival, volunteers will be welcomed and receptioned by Volunteer Coordinator and Mentor.

Engagement of volunteers in activities with socially excluded people will contribute to the development of their communication skills, sense of empathy and better understanding of the needs and problems of certain social groups. Also, it will improve their communication in foreign languages and social and civic competences, as well as problem-solving and learning skills. Full training will be given (pre-departure by sending organization, on-arrival and cultural orientation by hosting organization).

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).
