📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
We are looking for 2 volunteers in the Transylvania region, to join other 17 international volunteers. The hosting organization acts in the city of Sighișoara and in the rural village of Saschiz to create a better environment for the local communities and the new generations. The period of volunteering is of 30 weeks, implementing a wide range of activities in the two locations. Your scope is to provide education through non-formal methods, tackle the challenges facing the community and building a more inclusive society. You will plan and organize different activities in the community, as nonformal educational and free time inspirational workshops, informational campaigns, summer camps for kids, public events and digital activities for teenagers. You will help the organization’s team to manage the development plan for 2023, writing and submitting new projects for E.U. funds, also giving assistance in organizing the Erasmus+ mobilities activities as youth exchanges and training courses.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be accomodated in Sighișoara, together with all other volunteers in a rented building called “The volunteers’ castle”, at 15 minutes walking to the city center. “The castle” has 9 double rooms, so 2 people will share a room with private bathroom, while the kitchen and the eating area are in common. The village of Saschiz is at 20 km. from the city. The travel from Italy to Romania and back will be completely reimbursed. As usual in the European Solidarity Corps, you’ll receive a pocket money, that for Romania is fixed in 90 euros per month, and a food allowance of 150 euros per month.
🎒 Leisure activities
You will attend a pre-departure training before leaving Italy, a so-called “on arrival training” a few weeks after your advent in Romania and a “mid-term training” after six months of volunteering. Lessons of Romanian language will also be given on a regular basis. Each volunteer will have a specialized and well prepared mentor for personal support and professional guidance during the implementation of the planned activities, benefitting of planning sessions, topic trainings and skills development. You will learn to be a complete youth worker, and to master the non-formal education methods.
⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profile: To be considered for this volunteering position we need your promise that you are open to learn, while, in the meantime, we assure you that you will receive all the necessary support. So, what is mandatory is to be, or to be open to become, self motivated, with positive attitude, authentic, never in panic and focused on solutions, able to take responsibility, passionate for volunteering!
