📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

"ILKSENOL" association consists of young people who produce solutions and take action. Members of the organization support young people's sporting skills, especially developing their sporting skills, offering new alternatives to their free time, supporting young people to develop themselves through sports; and trying to create favourable conditions for young people and members to develop and develop their creativity, thinking and active civic skills. We try to develop spiritual and cultural values, work, sports and art skills, and also provide sporting training to young people that will enable them to be a part of active life. We also help them develop the skills to accept new people in their communities. We encourage young people to be active, communicate with different people and create new stories, cultures, inspirations, and new bonds with people. Our association has many goals, one of the most important goals is a tolerant and active society. In addition to Erasmus+ projects, the organization is active in healthy living, sports, entrepreneurship, creativity, designing thought, tolerance and other current and interesting youth issues. Nationally and internationally, we produce projects to enable young people to adopt and have this awareness of sports culture. Our organization, which consists of more than 100 members and volunteers between the ages of 15 and 30, mostly students and academic studies, has close ties with universities and schools.

💼 What the programme involves

Within the scope of this volunteering project, volunteers will be assigned to work across the project office, social welfare activities, environmental protection work, and the social media department. Tasks will be allocated according to each volunteer's skills and interests, offering a meaningful opportunity to contribute to youth-focused activities, local community initiatives, and social responsibility projects in Istanbul. In particular, volunteers taking part in the social media department will be able to carry out social media management, create new designs and visual content, help organise and update the website, and prepare and publish Instagram posts. The duration of the volunteering is 180 days excluding travel time. Following a preliminary evaluation, shortlisted candidates will be invited to an online interview, and selected volunteers will receive a detailed information package by email.

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).
