About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

CISR e.V. is currently accepting applications for a two-week volunteer program for 10 persons. Volunteers will actively participate in organizing our signature CISR event, URBANCONFEST – a hybrid of a conference and a festival designed to address multifaceted urban topics. URBANCONFEST takes place in unique spaces with a special atmosphere that fosters direct communication and creative exchange of ideas. Discussion formats, including science-public, science-fiction, science-activism, science-art, and more, encourage interaction and involve everyone interested. This year, we propose to collectively explore, through the lens of mobility, how various social, cultural, political, and economic processes are represented in cities. We will meet, listen, discuss different perspectives, debate, persuade, and either be convinced or not – all to live and act in cities with a broader understanding and respect for their diversity and contradictions.

🏠 Accommodation on site

We cover flight or train tickets, provide a food allowance of 200 euros, offer each participant 80 euros in pocket money for two weeks, cover accommodation, provide travel insurance, and cover local transportation within the AB zone.

🎒 Leisure activities

Before the event, volunteers will receive preparation training. Their duties encompass liaising with participants and speakers, assisting in logistics, and organizing event spaces. A notable portion of training will focus on venue setup under the guidance of a designer and an architect. After the event, volunteers will assist with site dismantling, feedback collection, disseminating event outcomes, and other administrative tasks. The results of the open call will be announced no later than October 26th.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Volunteers for the URBANCONFEST should be over 18 years old and less then 31 y.o. They need to have a keen interest in learning, personal development, and urban topics. Flexibility, responsibility, positivity, and good communication skills are crucial. A basic level of English is desirable for seamless communication during the event activities and within the diverse team of staff and volunteers. Knowledge of Russian is also highly appreciated.
Deadline: Application deadline: 20/10/2023

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).
