About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

During this activity, the volunteer will offer support and empowerment services to Unaccompanied Minors and will complement and flourish the services already offered to them by the staff of the Semi-Autonomous Living Units run by KEAN in Athens, such as daily tasks and workshops on budgeting, housekeeping, nutrition and health, mobility in the city etc. to facilitate their semi- independent living and slowly prepare them for their “exit” to a completely independent life. KEAN also aims to protect and empower the UAMs, to safeguard their fundamental rights and to promote their smooth inclusion into the local society. The activity will offer you the opportunity to support a particularly vulnerable social group, to contribute to their social inclusion and empowerment, and to sensitize other people. Our intention is UAMs to see volunteers as friends and together to create an international pals’ team in which everyone is equal and together will bring social change.

The volunteer will stay in a shared fully equipped apartment in the center of the city of Athens which meets the required standards of hygiene and safety and has all the necessary equipment (home appliances, furniture, heating, household appliances, sheets, blankets etc.), it provides easy access to the public transportation and has access to the Internet, in order to promote and facilitate the communication of the volunteer with both their family and our organization.

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).
