ℹ️ Additional information
We will provide different workshops throughout the experience to make sure every individual is confident and comfortable in working at Don Bosco Rijswijk. For example: how to organize games, how to work as a professional youth worker, how to maintain boundaries and healthy relationships, how to animate. We offer extra support for learning Dutch with inhouse language course. We value good communication and spend a lot of time and effort to organize activities which promote team building and multicultural learning under the roof of Don Bosco organizations mission.
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).
