About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Vluchtelingenwerk Vlaanderen (VwV) is a platform of Belgian NGOs and volunteer groups, defending the rights of asylum seekers and refugees in Belgium. The Refugee Walk is a yearly fundraising event, where people walk 20 or 40 km in support of asylum seekers and refugees. The Refugee Walk is a way for participants and donors to show their support, engage their network and take a stand within the public discourse on asylum seekers and refugees. For the upcoming Refugee Walk in 2023, which will take place in Antwerp on Sunday the 8th of October, we are recruiting a European Solidarity Corps volunteer. They will help with the general organization (logistics, planning, communication, networking, …) and more specifically work on these areas: - Reaching out to asylum centres and community associations - Reaching out to the Brussels expat community - The English communication of the event.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteer is free to choose his/her own accommodation in Brussels within the limits of the ESC accommodation fee. Vluchtelingenwerk can give support (information on suggested districts; make visits on behalf of the volunteer, contact owners, propose cohousing options…) before arrival.

🎒 Leisure activities

At the start, intercultural training will be part of the training organised by JINT. Every new staff member and volunteers receive an introduction training and folder with essential information on the organization (mission, vision, workplace rules...) More training can be provided and organised by Vluchtelingenwerk or external organisations.
