About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Welcome to an exciting ESC Volunteering Project set in the vibrant city of Timisoara, Romania, the European Cultural Capital of 2023. This unique opportunity invites volunteers in a life-changing experience, working with kids through non-formal education, cultural activities, entrepreneurial education and language enhancement. From October 2023 to September 2024, participants will be engaged in a diverse range of activities that focus on enriching the lives of young minds and fostering cultural exchange. Timisoara, known for its cultural heritage and progressive spirit, provides the ideal backdrop for a project that thrives on creativity, connection, and community. Volunteers will be at the heart of this project, as they collaborate daily with children from the local community. Through non-formal educational approaches, participants will engage the young learners in interactive workshops and games. The project will also involve activities with Ukrainian children residing in Timisoara.

🏠 Accommodation on site

During the ESC Volunteering Project in Timisoara, volunteers will be provided with comfortable and shared accommodation in the city. Living together in the same apartment fosters a sense of camaraderie among participants, facilitating cultural exchange and teamwork. To ensure that volunteers can focus on their valuable contributions to the project, they will receive pocket money and food allowance throughout their stay. Moreover, we cover transportation expenses using Erasmus Calculator on distance band.

🎒 Leisure activities

Throughout the project, a dedicated project coordinator and mentors will be available to provide guidance, support, and assistance to the volunteers.

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).
