About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Our tutor assistants play an integral role at Galway Community Circus. They work closely with our team and support them in the running of our circus program. Their tutor tasks include but are not limited to: - co-preparing class schedules; - contributing to in-class activities; - participating in summer camps and outreach workshops; - assisting lead tutors in various administrative tasks; - assisting in the maintenance of our Circus Hall. During classes our ESC tutors may interact with toddlers, youth members, adults, and whole families. Our ESC tutors are encouraged to develop themselves creatively. Their work hours include working on a personal project that contributes something meaningful to the Circus community. GCC also offers our tutor assistants the chance to train and learn any new (circus) artist skills. They receive opportunities to perform throughout the program and to lead small productions. Our tutor assistants volunteer 38 hours a week.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation: GCC provides a private room in a house shared with other ESCs. Bills: GCC covers all basic bills such as internet, heating, electricity, and maintenance. Transport: GCC provides bicycles for you to use while in Galway. The maintenance of the bikes is also covered by GCC. Most places are also within walking distance. Pocket money and allowance: Our ESCs receive €11 per day pocket money plus €180 food allowance per month.

🎒 Leisure activities

GCC provides training in various skills. During these training sessions, our tutor assistants explore circus skills, teaching methods, and arts administration.

⚠️ Requirements

GCC are looking for someone who: - can work as part of a team; - is open to work with people from diverse backgrounds; - can be flexible around work hours; - can work under pressure; - wants to immerse themselves in the world of circus!

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).
