📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Nevo Parudimos Association it’s a nonprofit apolitical organization which was founded by a group of teachers, Roma activists and Roma students from Caras-Severin county, in the south-west of Romania in 2008. The aim of the Nevo Parudimos association is to decrease the economic, social, educational and cultural differences in the society. Objectives of the Nevo Parudimos association are: - To develop activities which promote democracy; - To promote tolerance, diversity and equal chances in the society; - To create community development programs to fight against prejudices towards Roma people; - To increase the organizational capacity of Roma people; - To help Roma communities to develop their own competences and abilities to solve problems; - To develop professional, social, cultural, economic activities and civic commitment. Our activities are split in more fields like: education, culture, social work, community development, human rights, youth work and volunteering, as well as specialized internships for students of Social Work department in Eftimie Murgu University. In the youth work field our activities are in most cases connected with the other activities of the NGO. Until now we have implemented 16 Youth in Action/Erasmus + projects as coordinators and we have on going other 6 from which 3 are strategic partnerships one on youth and two on adult education and one it’s an EVS project.

💼 What the programme involves

As part of this project, volunteers will be actively involved in delivering a wide range of non-formal educational programs for children and young people in placement centers, primary schools, and kindergartens within disadvantaged areas of Resita.

During the summer, volunteers will also take on the role of coordinating and working alongside short-term volunteers.

ℹ️ Additional information

During the project, volunteers will participate in an on-arrival training as well as a mid-term evaluation, both organised by the Romanian National Agency, for one week each. The sending and host organisations will inform the volunteers about all the particularities of volunteering, Youthpass and Europass CV. All volunteers will receive mentorship sessions as well as a Romanian language course. Throughout the project, the volunteers will improve on their intercultural, linguistic, organisational and entrepreneurial competences.

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).
