About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Kecioren Etlik Youth and Sports Club works particularly in the area of tennis. There are more then 100 performance and social tennis player kids which are most of them disadvantageous. There are also some disabled players.

💼 What the programme involves

During the mobility period, the volunteer will engage in Youth Information Sessions organized annually by the partner organisation. These sessions, held around ten times per year, take place in high schools, universities, senior universities, municipalities, parish structures, and professional institutions. As a speaker, trainer, or part of the organizing team, the volunteer will help inform young people about Erasmus+, the European Solidarity Corps, and other European programs that support youth mobility, learning, and volunteering opportunities. The volunteer will choose one regular activity based on her interests and skills. Options include promoting volunteering through blogs, social networks, press, or conferences; offering foreign language interaction opportunities for the local community; developing skills in project creation, implementation, and follow-up; supporting elderly individuals through cultural and educational activities; or assisting children in kindergarten

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteer will be provided with safe and comfortable accommodation arranged by the hosting organisation. The living space will be fully equipped with essential furniture, internet access and necessary household facilities to ensure a pleasant stay. The volunteer may share the accommodation with other participants, respecting common living rules and maintaining a friendly environment. Food support will be provided through a monthly food allowance.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteer will receive on-arrival training covering cultural adaptation, safety rules and an introduction to the organisation. Task-related training will support her role in youth sessions, communication and project activities. She will also have access to language learning, mentoring meetings and non-formal workshops. Mid-term evaluations will help track progress and strengthen personal and professional skills.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: The volunteer should be motivated, responsible, and eager to work with youth. She should have good communication and teamwork skills, an interest in European programs, volunteering, and intercultural learning. Prior experience in education, project support, or community activities is an advantage. The volunteer must hold a Green Passport or a valid visa, and be adaptable, creative, and willing to engage in diverse tasks and training opportunities.

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).
