About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Volunteers will work at Youth Cultural Center Monde. Work includes organising small-scale activities e.g. handicrafts and other workshops that can be attended by the customers of the Monde. Volunteers will also work at Monde’s cafeteria on events (serving customers, baking and cleaning). We want to help the people of Rovaniemi to experience a sense of community when participating in the activities organized by the volunteers. It is also important to raise awareness among the local youngsters about the European Solidarity Corps program and the possibilities it offers. The volunteers work 30 hours weekly, normally divided in 5 days.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The travel to Rovaniemi and back home after the project as well as housing, food allowance and pocket money are covered by the project fund. The housing is organized in an apartment shared by other volunteers. The food and pocket money are paid at the end of each month to a European bank account (opened in the first days). The residence permit and the insurance are covered by the project fund. Volunteers also have free wifi in their apartment.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteers will have several days of orientation to the practical matters, the working community and the town. Training in Finnish language is covered by the project funds and is included in working hours. The volunteers have the support of the project coordinator, a work instructor and a mentor. Together with their mentor, each volunteer will make him/herself a portfolio (EUROPASS or other) where is described their participation and learning during the project. They will also receive a ESC participant certificate after the project.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We will select two sociable and rather independent young adults interested in the project themes. The English language is necessary to adapt to the work organization and the local community. The volunteers will be chosen preferably from different countries. Since they will live in a shared flat, they should be rather tolerant and flexible with other people. It is an advantage, if the volunteers have some personal interest or hobby, that may be useful in the project activities.

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).
