About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The project has two main objectives. The first one is working towards a multilevel development of young people (personal, social, professional, etc.) to facilitate their active citizenship, community engagement and ensure the inclusion of people from vulnerable groups. The second one is affirmation of the ESC in North Macedonia, especially in our community (Struga) to support the involvement of young people in volunteering and solidarity activities, bring EU values closer to our them, contribute to the attainment of the SDGs and support international cooperation between our local youth and young people from abroad. In this way, we opt for the internationalization of the organisation, too. The volunteers will work in our offices and in the local community, engaging youngsters to participate actively and learn how to network in an international community like Erasmus+.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Equipped rooms (kitchen area, bedroom, private bathroom, internet) will be provided for the volunteers in the vicinity of the working area. The volunteers will also receive money for food and monthly allowance according to the Erasmus budget rules. The transport from the home country to the host country and back will be covered by the host as per the Erasmus+ distance band. Local transport is not covered since Struga is a very small town and the offices are within a walking distance from the accommodation facility.

🎒 Leisure activities

General online training is an open-access training, via the Solidarity Corps site, for all registered candidates and participants. Modules include “The mission of the European Solidarity Corps”, “Roles and responsibilities of participants”, “Inter-cultural awareness”, “Health and safety” and more. As a participant in a long-term activity, you will be offered on-arrival training by the National Agency for European Educational Programmes and Mobility.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for youngsters who are responsible, motivated and creative, and who can work in teams. The perfect candidate is not a perfect person but a person who is willing to grow and make a valuable contribution to the community. They need to be open-minded young people eager to learn and get out of their comfort zone. The candidates need to have at least a B1 level of English to be able to participate. Age of the candidate 18-30.
Deadline: No application deadline

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).
