📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Mustamäe open Youthcenter (aka MANK) is maintained by the Ministry of Education. It is governmental organisation that is a part of the chain of youth centers spread all over the city of Tallinn. The main objective is to organise young people's free time and provide them with quality leisure. MANK works on the principle of opened youth center: opened for everybody, equal partnership, equal opportunities, supporting education and enterpreneurship, learning through games and play, promoting well-being, social inclusion. We have 7 rooms: main room with boardgames, a room with pingpong table an pool, a computer class, virtual reality room, a kitchen and a bigger hall for movie nights. There is a small piece of land where locals grow plants, vegetables. Volunteer can help maintaining that garden. We have a basketball court as well, so that summer days can be filled with outside activities. We support activities, organised by youth, support their ideas and help them accomplish the ideas. We are having workshop for youngsters. In order to make the center's everyday life more culturally diverse MANK is working with European Solidarity Corps so that international volunteers can bring their culture into youthwork. Volunteer can help us by teaching kids games, words in his/her language. There is opportunity to help with event organisation, decoration etc (creativity is appreciated). Our target group are youngsters 7-26.

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).
