📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Volunteers will be focused on delivering activities to the most vulnerable groups in the local community – elderly and frail people, mentally ill, blind and visually impaired people, socially marginalized members of the community, children and youth while trying to overcome social gaps in a post war and post-earthquake community and offer content that aims to connect all community groups. In accordance with the needs of the community, the volunteer, under the mentorship of the hosting organisation will get to know the community and analyse their current needs, already existing activities and their personal interest and skills. The main task will be to take an active part in the life of the organisation and team, plan, design, implement and produce various types of activities in volunteer's own creative arrangement that can contribute to improving the quality of life of the community.

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).
