📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
The project aims to promote solidarity through involving youth in the empowerment process of people in a vulnerable condition, such as refugees, asylum seekers and homeless citizens. Volunteers will support activities to provide daily care essential services and actions to facilitate their social inclusion. The activity, hosted by Intervolve, will see the volunteers supporting "Irida" Women's Centre, a community centre for women of all nationalities and backgrounds. They will help provide a safe space of expression, workshops and intercultural events, which will contribute to the personal development of these women, as well as their social integration.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The participants will stay in a five-floor independent building, with all the necessary equipment available. It is located in the centre of Thessaloniki. The accommodation also hosts volunteers participating in other ESC projects, offering an important opportunity for networking and for exchanging experiences with each other. Meal is provided from Monday to Friday via a catering service. This includes breakfast, lunch and dinner, with respect to participants' allergies or preferences. Volunteers will be supported with a monthly transportation card to use public transport or with a bicycle.
⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profil: The project will involve four young participants aged between 18-30 from France. Their educational or professional background won't be a prerequisite. Candidates should have a clear interest in volunteering and willingness to learn and respect other cultures. There won't be any discrimination based on ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation. The most important factor in the selection will be their motivation and interest they show for the activities of the hosting organisations. We plan to select female participants for this project due to the particular activities in the women centre.
