🏢 About the local organisation

Curba de Cultură is all about reaching out to rural youth. We are an NGO committed to non-formal learning, to culture and to participation opportunities. Our focus is to improve education levels and community engagement for the young people living in rural environment in Romania. We take our work very seriously, yet we do it in a relaxed, witty and humorous spirit. A youthful spirit.

Our main goal is to revitalise rural environment. In our view, change finds its most fertile ground in the ones most aptly equipped for change: YOUTH. Their energy and their desire to set a new way of doing things inspired us to provide for them an organisational framework capable of allowing them to implement this change for themselves and for the community they live in. We believe that our projects function as a pilot initiative addressing the issues of rural development, educational access and better opportunities for the ones who need change and a better life within the rural area.

Our organisation's headquarters are based in Izvoarele, a small rural community near the town of Vălenii-de-Munte, in Prahova county, Romania.

💼 What the programme involves

Working with youngsters, chatting about their interests, leading games, playing movies or discussing about music and other stuff are things that you would like to do? How about joining our project? What will you get? The chance of meeting youngsters in villages of Romania, the chance to befriend them, to talk to them about their and your interests, about EU opportunities but also about music, arts, sports and many other topics. You will also get accommodation, an allowance, materials for activities, international working environment, friends and lots of different experiences. Yes, we are looking for you. You just need to know at least basic English, to be social and willing to live in rural Romania for 5-7 months.

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).
