About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Since our foundation in 2003, KERIC has been active in youth work and in non-formal education and training. Our aim is to connect Kysuce and Slovakia with the whole world and to help people to be more open and tolerant of other cultures.
We do this through non-formal education and volunteering - both local and international. We are an active coordinating, sending and hosting organization for various international and local volunteering tips. The main theme of our organisation is intercultural education and active participation of young people (YP).
We run language courses, IT courses, organise entrepreneurial workshops, ICL workshops and seminars for youth and adults where they can gain new practical skills and experience. Every summer we organise summer camps for children and youth.
Another aim is to create a network of local partners in the fields of education (primary schools, secondary schools), public life (municipal council, local government), social work (senior homes, charities, social facilities for mentally handicapped children and adults, crisis centres), culture (cultural centre, library), community life (community centres and activities) and sport (sports clubs, swimming pool). We are also actively building a network of international partners from around the world, building long-term and trustworthy partnerships for international activities.

💼 What the programme involves

The project is initiated by CSDS, a local NGO in Vietnam whose mission is to enhance youth capacity building, social inclusion, education equalities and green life promotion. In this project, the Volunteer Engagement Coordinator (VECO) will take part and lead various activities using a non-formal education approach to address social and educational needs of today’s youth including students from poor backgrounds by enhancing young people’s sensitivity towards social and cultural differences, as well as their self-confidence and problem-solving abilities. Through volunteering activities, the VECO is facilitated to lead initiatives to help raise awareness of young people about climate change through the implementation of small and practical local acts. At the same time, opportunities are there for the VECO to engage in various activities to empower disadvantaged youth in the rural areas and support kids with disabilities especially those who are victims of Agent Orange if wished.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The VECO is arranged to live in single rooms or twin rooms only when needed with aircon in summer time, hot water for winter shower and wifi, fan, etc. The VECO will enjoy a shared kitchen, common space and shared bathroom with others.

ℹ️ Additional information

The LO-CA project offers training cycles to improve the digital skills and to implement small local actions (SLOCAs) on the topic of Project management, Inclusion and diversity, Environment and Climate, Human rights and Sustainable local community development All volunteers of the project will learn together and implement the SLOCAs during the deployment, with help of coordinators and local trainees, resulting in SLOCA quide. Upon arrival, the VECO will enjoy a 5 day training to help him/her smoothly and immerse in the work and life in a new country and will be offered a language course.

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).
