About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The volunteering project will take place at the Faros Thoukosmou association in Thessaloniki, Greece. This association provides accommodation for 15 children aged between 6 and 15 who are orphaned or abused. The association also provides day care for young people aged 11 to 25 who have lived with the association, and offers appropriate social support. Tasks include - Organising fun, manual and sporting activities and games adapted to the age of the children. These activities will be run in pairs, with one young person from France and one from Greece. - Carrying out intercultural activities to raise awareness of Greek and French cultures from the point of view of the young people and children taking part in the project. - Take part in introductory workshops in French and Greek. - To create a photo exhibition and a video so that the young people and children can bear witness to what they have experienced together.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteer will live with other volunteers in shared accommodation in the United Societies of Balkans volunteer house in Thessaloniki. Each volunteer will have a bedroom. The kitchen, living room and bathroom will be shared. An Internet connection will be provided in the accommodation. Local transport costs are covered (train tickets and public transport). Food will be covered by the volunteer's allowance. Personal insurance is covered as part of the European Solidarity Corps project in teams of volunteers.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Our only criterion is motivation: the desire to live an intercultural and supportive experience. We don't require any previous experience in one of these areas or any language skills, but the volunteer must be keen to meet other young people and offer activities tailored to children and teenagers.
Deadline: Application deadline: 18/04/2024

ℹ️ Additional information

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).
