About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The hosting organization is a non-governmental one specialised in the promotion of youth, culture and sport. It runs a youth centre whose target group is made by young people coming from a multicultural background. Kids and teenagers can spend their free time there, joining activities such as games, indoor and outdoor activities, sports, wood and metal workshops, bicycle repair, cooking sessions, and more. And if they have questions about school, growing up, love, arguments with friends, family problems, money, the future or similar, they know they are in the right place: in the cozy atmosphere of the centre they will receive support to find answers and develop your skills. So, your role in all of this is to support the centre's team and its daily work, assist in the different workshops and projects, and manage your own projects.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The hosting organization will provide a room in a student’s dormitory for you. To reach the working place, you can either use a bycicle that will be given to you, or the public transport that the hosting organization will pay. You will receive a food allowance for your self-supply, and, as usual in the E.S.C., also the pocket money established by the European Union for Austria, that is 6 euros per day. The travel from Italy to Austria and back will be completely reimbursed. You’ll be also covered by the insurance agreed with the European Solidarity Corps, protecting you from any risk.

🎒 Leisure activities

You will attend a pre-departure training before leaving Italy, a so-called “on arrival training” a few weeks after your advent in Austria, and a mid-term training after six months of volunteering. You will be provided with a German Language Course. Through experienced colleagues acting as tutor, the youth centre will give you ongoing all the necessary coaching, learning and technical support to well perform your tasks during the volunteering experience.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Our ideal volunteer is an active person with an interest in youth issues. It has soft skills like openness, capacity of communicate, spirit of initiative, self-organisation and propension to teamwork. Any special interests such as sports, crafts and so on is a plus. As hard skills, the candidate should have concrete ideas about youth, interest or knowledge in social and pedagogical work, be trustworthy and team player; possess previous experience in working with youngsters, and motivation to learn to speak German.
Deadline: Application deadline: 14/03/2024

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).
