🏢 About the local organisation

Esai en Roi Cultural Organization of Macedonia – Thrace is a Cultural Association activated in the Fine Arts era, in Cultural conscience & Cultural issues related to "Quality of Life" and "Sustainable Environment" development. EERcomt is strongly connected to Fine Arts Innovation, Research & Education and supports youth activism via creativity and arts. Through regular artistic activities and festivals EER facilitates Artists’ sociability and Cultural Heritage vigilance. EERcomt cooperates with public authorities and private associations or companies sharing common aims or interests. EERcomt was a non-formal group of artists between 1997-1999. EER acquired its legal form in April 1999. Since2013 EER festivals have been acknowledged for their importance as to be nominated “under the aegis” of Ministries of Tourism, Culture, Education, Foreign Affairs & Interior (Macedonia - Thrace Region). EER ACTIVITIES EER collaborates with other institutions and Associations related to Fine Arts, Tradition, Research, Health and Education, Sustainable Environment and Quality of Life aiming to the quality EER services development linear to contemporary social needs and ICT standards; EERcomt participates in research projects related to Fine Arts and a) education, b) health, c) elite performance, d) innovation, e) disabled etc. For more about our Annual Activities, please visit our official website http://esai.gr/eer under the label SERVICES > “Projects”. Since 2019, our office has been transfered to ANTHOKIPOUS Polichnis, near to a local neglected area, previously a former camp, potentially KARATASOU PARK. This factor, claimed his presence to our activistic plans, gaining priority of higher importance: We already plan to moove and act inside the park, with outdoor activities, activistic events related to Eco-system protection and healthy lifestyles in the city,especially when the particular region is a Thessaloniki's suburb of inferior quality.

💼 What the programme involves

It is a common belief that behavioral patterns are fundamental as to evaluate quality of life. We aim to quality of life (QoL) of 1) DISABLED and disadvantaged population including them to a short environmental protection campaign with medians sport & cultural events and 2) of the volunteers' themselves introducing them to basic principles of QoL. In our ESC project volunteers with fewer opportunities will cooperate with disadvantaged & disabled youth and other young people with strong potentials in sports, arts and ecological activation and all together will learn & support activities related to inclusive culture. Within the short time period of volunteering they will create a facebook community for passing their experiences, ideas and hopes in the digital world, a contemporary practice for keeping a directory of the event and sharing their opinions with others. EERcomt hopefully will make available to the ESC volunteers sports equipment, chairs, easels, music instruments etc.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Each volunteer or group of volunteers will be hosted to a marvellous studio in Thessaloniki's old town (Tsinaria) with all safety, hygiene & guality standards. Each volunteer will be committed to return his apartment as it was received, without damages or missing objects. Each volunteer will be challenged for 15 days to stay with a roommate and in the same time an opportunity to learn for the project by the view of another "KAIZEN Youth" volunteer. This has been made by purpose as a social challenge for the volunteer(s). Before their arrival there must have already signed related contract.

🎒 Leisure activities

Participants will be hosted will be able to receive EER certification as volunteers with advanced skills or youth workers/ leaders (4 levels available). Those training courses are beneficial for our volunteers as to strengthen their capacity and skills as youth workers and leaders. We also cooperate with several external organizations that certify youth with badgets of European recognition and we enhance our volunteers to join their seminars (eg. thecourses.eu; unicollaborationtraining.org, etc). Other certificates: -EER certification & a reference letter according to achievements.
