About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

We are looking for three volunteers who have the opportunity to work within our printmakers team and become involved in the various tasks which surround print studio and civic community life. The work is often hands-on and varied. One day you could be assisting with a printmaking workshop with kids, the next could be making zines, posters, graphics for our projects.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be living in a private room in a shared apartment. Kitchen, toilets etc will be shared. The apartment will have the usual amenities, furniture, dishes etc. You will be provided with a monthly allowance for food and living expenses. Pécs is a small city in the south-west of the country, close to its border with Croatia - most locations are within walking distance. It features the oldest university in the country, and is one of the major cultural centers. Pécs was historically a multi-ethnic city where many cultures intermingled, creating a melting pot of different values.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteer will be provided with training in many of the techniques offered at DRUKKER; such as riso printing, letterpress printmaking and screen printing, analog photo processing and developing, bookbinding, to name a few. You will also have the opportunity to assist with workshops, organising cultural events and help to set up our new workshop. The volunteers have the chance to lead their own public events and collaborate with other NGO volunteers in organisations around Pécs and Hungary.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for three volunteers, all three roles will help us with our creative and socio-environmental work: be willing to assist with the various daily tasks of printshop life. Individuals with good initiative, who can lead their own projects and will be ready to get their hands dirty. Volunteers need to have a passion for creativity and culture, however, we are not necessarily looking for experienced printmakers, as we are able to provide training in these areas. We want someone who works well in a small team and they must like dogs.

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).
