About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

As a volunteer at Komtek you will get the opportunity to guide young people and children in the world of many different technical techniques. At Komtek, the Municipal School of Technology and Entrepreneurship, visitors come to have fun in their leisure time. Children and young people experiment and solve technical challenges. The participants are supported by inspiring supervisors and generously with materials, tools and machines. The courses and activities are conducted on evenings, weekends and holidays and can be of different lengths and have a varied content with a focus on practical work. Mechanics, electronics and programming are some of the technology areas that are treated to create movement, sound and light in fun applications. You will also get the possibility to create your own projects that involve youths in some way, created from your own interests.

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).
