📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
The hosting organization is active in the field of human rights, integration of young people from migrant families and refugees. Its mission is to encourage intercultural dialogues between people from different backgrounds and cultures through non-formal educational methods. It focuses on raising awareness among young people about the global challenges, intended as the product of a complex system starting from personal and collective attitudes.
In this project, the hosting organization supports young men seeking refugee status in the Styria region, and organise workshops and leisure activities for them, such as cooking, sport, excursions... By applying the methods of non-formal and informal learning, you will have the opportunity to work directly with young refugees, and help them feel self-empowered and able to better raise their voice in public discourses, by enhancing their knowledge on political participation, cooperation, democracy and conflict resolution.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The accommodation provided to the volunteer by the host organisation is a private room in Graz. All local transports costs are reimbursed. The volunteer will receive a self-supply allowance of 240 euros per month, and a pocket money of 150 euros per month. The travel expenses from his hometown to Austria will be reimbursed according with the limits determined by E.S.C. conditions.
🎒 Leisure activities
The volunteer will attend three official training sessions: a pre-departure training before leaving Italy; an on arrival training in a few weeks after his advent in Austria; a midterm training, around the half of the volunteering experience. The volunteer will have the possibility to attend a German course, and will receive ongoing support and training provided by the host organisation.
