About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Stowarzyszenie Jeden Świat is an NGO promoting peace and multicultural dialogue. We have many partnerships with Polish NGOs, who help us run short volunteering camps. One of the camps this summer will be organised in cooperation with Multi.Art - culture association from Kalisz (northern Poland), involved in a number of initiatives for youth. One of them is “Summer in theatre” – a nationwide program promoting theatrical education. Young people have a pressing need to express themselves through activism and creating the space for expressing their views and beliefs is crucial. By employing various tools related to performative and visual arts we will strengthen their sense of influence on their community, their neighbourhood and their city. Drawing, painting, sculpting, creating installations, will create a space to address difficult and challenging subjects. The project will be concluded with a performance for an audience. The children taking part in the project are between 12-15 yo.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will sleep in dorms, in shared rooms. All meals will be provided, the expenses related to travel will be reimbursed. Candidates who require a visa will be supported during the process.

🎒 Leisure activities

Participants will be expected to take part in all of the activities, along with the youth. Additionally, they will be supporting local supervisors and educators on a daily basis. Volunteers are welcome to put forward any ideas, initiatives or improvements that they may have.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for a participant interested in working with youth. The ideal candidate will have some experience in international projects and cross-cultural communication as well as skills related to preparing workshops and fun activities for children. Ability to work in a team is a must. Interest in theatre and art will be an asset.
Deadline: Application deadline: 15/05/2024

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).
