About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Do you like art, culture and a sense of community? Do you like attending concerts, exhibitions or performances? Do you have a sense of responsibility, proactivity but don't mind a little punk? Then you'll fit perfectly to our team! Come volunteering for 10 months to 1 year at two independent cultural centers in northern Slovakia - Stanica Žilina-Záriečie and Nova synagoga Žilina. Our volunteers help with event preparation, assist the technical or PR team, do photography and we are happy if they also create their own projects and bring their own ideas. We do around 300 events a year so to have really full experience 10 months is minimum stay. Summer season is a must and believe me you don´t want to miss all of our festivals.

🏠 Accommodation on site

We fully refund travel expences after arrival and also before departure back home. You will have your own room in a city center house with 3 other volunteers (we ussualy take 4 volunteers per project). You will get 180Euros pocket money and 220 Euros for food monthly. Everything is walking distance here. Žilina (our location) is a small city surrounded by beautiful nature and with good location towards nice travelling points like Prague, Vienna atc. We are the ones that bring cultural fuzz to the city. But the experience is not about location but about people and community vibe!

🎒 Leisure activities

Under the guidance of professionals from the field, you will increase your knowledge of cultural management, art and culture sector in Slovakia and internationally. You will help with creative projects and help to organize events. Your main position will be either as a technician (in light or sound design), event photographer or help to our PR team. You will gain practical experience and new skills that will help you later on at the job market. We are not a museum or state organized facility. We are NGO and that comes with freedom of choice what projects and program we do and how we do them.

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).
What do we provide ?
