About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The hosting organization is a nonprofit local development association which helps the community by realizing various social and cultural projects for children and the youth. You will work daily with children in post-kindergarten activities, in one or several of its kindergarten facilities, and with teenagers from the youth center, which is integrated in a local school. You will change your tasks on a regular basis, experiencing a different context every 4 weeks. You will develop other punctual tasks, and a personal project of your choice. You should integrate yourself within the group of children/teenagers, and support the team in the implementation of activities. Also, you will have the opportunity to develop your own activity with children/teenagers, bringing intercultural value, sharing your experience and promoting volunteering among the local community.

🏠 Accommodation on site

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).
