About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Stadtteilzentrum Lend and Nachbarschaftszentrum NaNet Floßlend are two community centers in the district Lend in Graz. They offer the residents a space for information, social counseling, and community. The aims are to offer a welcoming and engaging neighborhood, set up social networks in the community, provide advice in various psycho-social challenges and foster civic engagement. Different activities are organized in order to share and develop ideas, motivate neighbors to follow a healthier lifestyle or promote sustainability, f.e., by taking part in a food sharing network and running campaigns against food waste, maintaining a community garden or promoting a healthy and active lifestyle. The volunteer will assist the team in organizing and executing community events, get in touch, communicate and collaborate with people from different backgrounds and of different generations and take actions in sustainability and food sharing networks in order to reduce food waste.

🏠 Accommodation on site

JUKUS will provide the volunteer with a room at a student's dormitory. There is the opportunity either to use a provided bicycle to reach the organization or to use public transportation (ticket provided). The locations are reachable by bus or tram. Food allowance is €250/month, pocket money €180/month.

🎒 Leisure activities

The Volunteer will be provided at least with an On Arrival Training and a Mid Term Training, organized by the Austrian National Agency. The volunteer will have the possibility to attend a German course.

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).
