We are the directorate responsible for schools in the Selim district of Kars, overseeing educational activities. We aim to conduct SCH and ADU projects with our schools, focusing on themes of "digitalization" and "nature."We are committed to developing and growing in these areas, especially for individuals with limited opportunities.

💼 What the programme involves

At the Agrupamento de Escolas Terras do Ave school, volunteers will support the school during the summer break in preparing for the new academic year. In addition to activities such as garden maintenance, minor repairs, and landscape improvement, they will also carry out amateur-level artistic activities introducing Turkish culture. Volunteers will also support community service activities taking place on specific days of the week at the association with which the school is partnered. Volunteers are also expected to regularly take photos and videos as part of the project activities and share them with the sending organization.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The guesthouse where accommodation is provided is located approximately 15 minutes away from the school by bus. Volunteers will be accommodated in separate three-person rooms for male and female participants. The guesthouse is equipped with a fully functional kitchen. Accommodation is provided free of charge. In addition, volunteers will receive a daily allowance of 6 EUR for food and 6 EUR as pocket money, totaling 12 EUR per day. Volunteers will also be provided with a free bus card to travel between the accommodation and the school.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Priority will be given to candidates with at least an intermediate level of English, and those who hold a green passport (official passport) or a valid Schengen visa, as this will facilitate the visa process. Please clearly state your visa status.
Deadline: 20/06/2026 00:00

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).
