About the project

ESC: TITLE: RENOFFICE - Empowerment Solidarity and Community Development in Vienna

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The office community Schottengasse in Vienna has existed for decades, providing critical initiatives and associations with working spaces and infrastructure. Schottengasse is composed of different social realities and associations involved in different fields, embracing solidarity actions and critical approaches to promote a system change and tackle social challenges. The activity intends to bring a group of international volunteers together with other young immigrants to offer their solidarity to the community and learn together about the topics of integration, youth engagement, solidarity and volunteering. At the same time, we aim to redirect the attention of the local community to such topics and relaunch the general support of the work done in the office. The volunteers will support the community with maintenance works to improve the spaces and make them more suitable and safe for hosting social activities and welcoming the people in need mentioned above.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will be accommodated with mattresses into one social house and social community appartment in Vienna. Volunteers will sleep, cook and eat together in a community dimension. Some food will be prepared as lunch packet and pick-nick style during the working time and some other occasions the volunteers will go to eat outside in the city.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteers will prepare materials for discussing on the topic based on their experiences or the status of migrants and refugees in their country. They will engage in intercultural events with local people from different backgrounds, cooking and sharing cultural awareness together. The local volunteers with fewer opportunities will be furtherly engaged in before the main volunteering activity and in follow-up activities after. The study part will depend on their contribution! The participants will benefit by improving their skills and learning about housing maintenance and self-reparations

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).
