About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The volunteers will mainly implement digital skills workshops in the high-schools in Romania. These workshops have already reached over 6.000 students in over 130 educational institutions. The Digital Young Leaders project was started in collaboration with the Institute for Strategic Dialogue and Google.org. Young Digital Leaders Methodology Our workshops are based on non-formal education. Non-formal education refers to any education received outside of traditional educational institutions. Therefore, everything we learn outside the classroom and school context is non-formal learning. Indeed, our aim is to help the students open their minds by themselves. Most of the activities proposed involve the students discovering digital problems related to cyberspace while searching for solutions. This opens up dialogue, perspectives, and points of view. All of our workshops start with an icebreaker to get the students in a state of mind open to non-formal education.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation will be offered in dormitories in Bucharest. Each volunteer will have their own bed, and they might share the same dorm room with other same-gender volunteers, having access to a clean kitchen and private bathroom. Right next to the accommodation, there is a cool canteen. Volunteers will receive food, pocket money & money for the public transport in Bucharest.

🎒 Leisure activities

Besides attending the PDT, OAT & MTE, volunteers will have the chance to attend other trainings and even facilitate their own workshops. All selected volunteers will have to co-facilitate weekly workshops.

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).
