About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Our NGO focuses on contemporary art and culture in Žilina and we are operating our events in a former synagogue and an old but still functioning trainstation. For this particular project, the main creative activity will be photo/video documentation of the events and activities we do. You will also be responsible for uploading the photos on our online photo archive on flickr.com/photos/stanica/. Our volunteers are involved in almost all the processes related to everyday operation of independent cultural venue. They sell tickets before the events, they distribute posters, prepare guest room or catering for artists. Other activities depend on mutual discussion and on the individual preferences, background and profile of the volunteer. You can develop your own activity which makes sense and fits with our programme (for example workshops). During 12 months spent in our organisation, you can gain unique experience for people who would like to continue working in the cultural field.

🏠 Accommodation on site

We have around 4 ESC volunteers at a time, working on different parts of the organization, venue, events and tasks, as well as working together. Our volunteers are accommodated in fully equipped house with separate rooms, in a walking distance from the venue. In our town, 85-thousand people live, it is located not far from mountains. This town is suitable for walking/biking, mass transportation is not needed. Each volunteer gets 350 euro monthly for food and pocket money. They can cook at their flat, the kitchen is suitable for eating together. The travelling costs are covered fully.

🎒 Leisure activities

We share our knowledge within all the team. We constantly teach each other and we permanently learn from each other. Same with EVS/ESC volunteers, we try to share our skills and experience with them. In the starting period, the volunteers are introduced into the work of every crew member, so they can understand who does what and how. This enables volunteers to decide what they want to focus on, what activity and skill they want to develop or grow. We have trust in the volunteer that they can learn by practise and give them the tools and support needed.
