About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Centre KAŅIERIS is a cooperation platform for youth organisations and young people who want to participate and organise various types of activities. What does that mean in real life? We organize trainings for youth workers (mainly youth organizations), provide space and resources for youth activities, take part in international projects and events, support local youth in their search for participation, activism and involvement opportunities. And when it gets too hot (like last summer!) we simply drag our beanbags outside and do all that while cooling in the shadow of a big tree. One of the main tasks with KAŅIERIS will be joining their team for school visits around Riga - together we will plan interactive activities and ways of telling young people about local and European opportunities like Erasmus+ youth exchanges, ESC volunteering, Solidarity projects, local youth organizations and opportunities in Riga. The working language will be English. www.instagram.com/kaniera15

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).
