📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
Youth Centres UP 2 is a long-term ESC project about social inclusion, human rights, and solidarity.
It is about you working shoulder to shoulder with the organization’s team, and getting familiar with youth work and the general functioning of youth NGOs, as well as setting the ground for the future generations.
The volunteer will develop his skills in organising, implementing and coordinating different activities, projects and events in this youth centre, maintaining it in a usable condition, and spreading his knowledge of inclusivity and human rights, giving the local youth a safe space when they need it.
Every week, you will carry out informational sessions/activities about solidarity, active citizenship, human rights, social inclusion, gender equality, and other educational topics for youth. You will also organise, together with young people of the neighborhoods, public campaigns (as photo voice or street action).
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be staying in a twin room (2 single beds) in Lugoj. The meals will be your responsibility: you will have a shared kitchen and you’ll receive monthly money dedicated to this (5 EUR/day), as well as pocket money (3 EUR/day).
You will also be given subscriptions to public transport, and travel costs to Romania and back home will be reimbursed.
🎒 Leisure activities
You will receive a pre-departure training in Italy with your sending organization, and will as well attend in Romania an on-arrival training, organized by the Romanian National Agency. You will also receive mentorship sessions throughout the project, a Romanian language course, team building and solidarity training, and workshops about public speaking.
