🏢 About the local organisation

Mums pieder pasaule is a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) based in Latvia that aspires to empower youth and foster active civic participation. Our mission is to provide meaningful and skill-building activities for rural young people, helping them develop into informed, active, and community-minded individuals. Our main activities span a wide range of fields, including youth development, community service, cultural and civic partirticipation and volunteerism. We aim to fill a vital gap in our local community, especially in rural areas like Svitene and Viesturi, where opportunities for youth are limited. We arrange various programmes such as festivals, workshops, seminars, and community service initiatives, facilitating youth participation and promoting their holistic development. Our target groups primarily comprise the youth from these local communities. We also focus on local community members who are part of our festivals, cultural events, environmental and other activities. We believe that acquiring the QL will further our mission, as it will enable us to participate in the ESC, thereby extending our reach to more young individuals and offering them valuable opportunities for personal and societal growth. By securing the QL, we also hope to strengthen our commitment to the development of our young people, encourage their active participation in the local and international community, and foster an environment that promotes learning, tolerance, and understanding.

💼 What the programme involves

This short-term European Solidarity Corps volunteering opportunity offers the chance to join an international cultural-heritage project as a Social Media Guru during summer camps in Svitene Manor and Rundāle Palace Garden, Latvia. As a Social Media Guru, you will be responsible for capturing, documenting, and creatively communicating the story of the camps before, during, and after the activities. Your role includes creating photo and video content, writing engaging social media posts, stories and reels, conducting short interviews with volunteers and local community members, and preparing a final visual summary of the project. You will work closely with the Camp Leaders, project coordinator, and youth workers to ensure that the project’s values, learning outcomes, and European Solidarity Corps principles are clearly reflected online. You will work closely with the Camp Leader and project coordinator and may also support group engagement during activities when needed.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will live in a shared two-room apartment with another volunteer, each having their own private room. The apartment is fully equipped with a kitchen, shower, washing machine, and free Wi-Fi. The project provides a monthly food allowance of 150 EUR and daily pocket money of 5 EUR. Travel costs for arrival and departure are covered, as well as local transport to and from project activities. Health insurance is included. As public transport in rural areas is limited, a bicycle can be provided if needed.

🎒 Leisure activities

Before the camps begin, volunteers will take part in a preparatory training programme designed to support them in their role. The training covers youth group dynamics, safe working methods in heritage spaces, activity planning and facilitation, inclusion and diversity principles, communication skills, and basic social media tools. This preparation ensures volunteers feel confident, supported, and ready to lead international groups, with ongoing guidance from an experienced youth worker during the project.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for creative, motivated, and responsible participant aged 18–30 who is interested in social media, digital storytelling, and communication in an international environment. The Social Media Guru should enjoy creating photo and video content, sharing stories, and capturing meaningful moments from daily activities. Good digital and communication skills in English, openness, initiative, and the ability to work both independently and in a team are essential. Previous experience with social media platforms, photography, video, or content creation is welcomed but not required — curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to learn and actively engage in the project are most important.
Deadline: 15/03/2026 21:24

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).
