About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Volunteers will support the organisation in creating campaigns related to art and human rights, with a special focus on LGBTIQ challenges. Activities will describe 6 cases of LGBTQI people. The 6 LGBTQI cases will be described with film screenings, discussions and workshops and will address: youth/teenagers, elderly, women, men, refugees/migration, activism. Aim is to link these six qualities to other social situations, like disability, political violence, poverty. To implement the program, we will organize 6 events: 2 events in April 2023. 2 events in May, which is also International Day Against Homophobia/Transphobia+. 2 events in June, when the Thessaloniki Pride week is held in our city. After each screening there will be presentation on the topic, held by an expert scientist or activist, followed by discussion and a workshop. Volunteers will also support in the The 25th edition of the Thessaloniki International D.L.A.D. Film Festival (Rainbow/LGBTQ FF) and crowdfunding too.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will stay in a five-floor independent building with two common spaces floors (plus the terrace) and three floors with the rooms, single and shared. In the accommodation are living volunteers participating in other ESC projects. The participants will live with other young people involved in other ESC and volunteering projects and will be able to create an informal network that will constitute a means for mutual support and exchange of experience during their project.
