🏢 About the local organisation
Egitim Programlari ve Evrensel ve Kulturel Aktiviteler Dernegi was established in Sinop in 2012 for the purpose of creating and developing cultural and educational programs for the disadvantaged young people and women. We are a non-governmental and non-profit organisation. We are active in the field of ecology, contemporary art, entrepreneurship, local handicrafts, youth programs and volunteering. We provide non-formal education for the young people in our town and abroad in a multi-cultural atmosphere with youth exchanges, training courses, seminars, workshops, etc. to empower their personal, social and occupational development. We were accredited for sending and hosting for the European Voluntary Service in 2012. Since then we have been hosting and sending a lot of young people as volunteers. The volunteers who come to our organisation help menatlly and physically disabled people for their needs. We also organize student exchange programs for teens with different countries from all around the world to meet their peers and learn each other's education systems. We raise awareness on animal rights. For this reason, we provide volunteering activities with our youth and women to make products to be sold in the sales in favor of the homeless cats and dogs. We provide young volunteers for Sinopale – the International Sinop Biennial - to assist the artists and curators for their performances.
💼 What the programme involves
We need a volunteer for the short term (58 days) to work for the disabled people in the center in Sinop, Turkey. The volunteer will organise fun time activities with the disabled people such as art, music, sports, drama, dance, handicrafts, games, etc. At the end of the activity, we expect the disabled person to have at least one new skill. We also ask the volunteer to develop a tool to provide the new skill in order to be online in SALTO-Toolbox for Trainings as a solid outcome of the project.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteer will live in a furnished flat with the other volunteers who are here for the other project activities. The volunteer will have her/his own room but share the kitchen and bathroom. There is furniture, wi-fi, hot water, kitchen tools, iron etc.
The volunteer will share a flat with the other volunteers but have his/her own room. They will get 4 Euros per day for pocket money (30 x 4 = 120 Euros per month) and 130 Euros for food per month. So altogether the volunteer will have 250 Euros per month.
The volunteer will walk to the center, which takes around 10 - 15 minutes.
🎒 Leisure activities
The staff of the center will teach the volunteer the basics of the SEN methodology.
