📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

We are looking for young people interested in the field of environment and healthy well-being to join team volunteering in "Common Sense" Youth Organization in Sumgait Azerbaijan. Our goal is to empower young volunteers to take actions towards a better environment, actively participate in the local society and enhance both their professional and personal skills. By conducting workshops and summer camps we want to raise awareness on environmental issues and healthy well-being among young people, especially school children through the formation of green thinking and enhancement of civic responsibility. This volunteering opportunity gives unique possibility to promote cross cultural cooperation, get to know how to work with kids and how learn from kids. Only candidates who have also filled out the additional form at the link will be considered: http://surl.li/cpnjhl

🏠 Accommodation on site

Travel costs will be covered according to the distance calculation of the EU. Visa support and cost will be provided. Volunteers will get pocket money and food money. Accommodation with all the basic facilities will be provided either in private buildings or family houses. Insurance is covered by the European Solidarity Corps (Henner Insurance).

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteers will have the opportunity to improve their management and organisational skills by conducting workshops and summer camps for school children in Sumgait city. They will use non-formal education to provide activities focused on rising environmental awareness including planting trees, making wooden bird nests and cat and dog shelters in the park area. By painting on the walls and decorating public places with street art they will be able to both develop creativity and immerse in a local community and different culture.

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).
