📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
The project “Volunteers 4 Solidarity” will give the opportunity for 4 volunteers from Belarus, the Republic of North Macedonia, Spain and Ukraine to get knowledge, skills and attitudes through volunteering in Chorzowskie Centrum Kultury (ChCK) and Młodzieżowy Dom Kultury nr 2 w Piekarach Śląskich (MDK 2) during the 12 months.
The main aim of the project is to foster an open dialogue between international volunteers and local community in order to enhance young people's participation, their social inclusion and engagement in civil society by involving them in local cultural activities, which are run with and for young people, including youngsters from vulnerable groups.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Two volunteers will be accommodated in Chorzów in rented apartment, 3 minutes by walking from ChCK. Two other volunteers will be living in Bytom - city close to Chorzów and Piekary Śląskie (10-15 minutes by tram), because of good facilities in the city. Each volunteer will have their own room. Additionally, volunteers will have a kitchen, bathrooms, a living room and a hall at their disposal. The volunteers will have a monthly ticket to be used to reach the culture house. They will receive weekly money for food and pocket money for their free time.
🎒 Leisure activities
At the beginning of the mobility, they will take part in the on-arrival training about their rights and duties as a volunteer, how to use the mobility period to acquire new skills and develop their competencies. In the middle there is the mid-term training, as a chance to evaluate and reflect on the mobility, improve communication and find out more about post-volunteering opportunities, further work on the acquired competencies and how to use them in their professional and personal life. The organisation provides constant coaching and cultural learning opportunities.
⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profil: Both ChCK and MDK 2 are looking for strongly motivated participants with a challenging mind and the openness to understand the cultural and social aspects of the local community and country. Volunteers will need to be communicative and able to engage with different target groups (e.g. community leaders, students, NEET youth, their parents, young migrants, etc). All volunteers will be between 18 and 30 years old.
