📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
We are looking for 2 volunteers who are interested in working with young people (aged 15 - 25) in the fields of health and sustainable development. The goal of their work will be working especially on the 3rd SDG ("Good Health and Well-being") with different activities for young people, such as online webinars, summer camp, working weekends etc. and with them prepare an international campaign on SDG Objective 3. The volunteers will also be working on expansion of communication channels within Youth Network No Excuse Slovenia in collaboration with young members of our organization. Other goals of their work will be:
Strengthening of competencies and abilities in the field of health and well-being of members in the organization.
Assisting in the organization of our regular annual campaigns and initiatives.
Issuing a publication for youth workers for disseminating the project.
Organize a small event in Slovenia for Slovenian youth organizations, where the publication will be presented
🏠 Accommodation on site
Together with the volunteers we will find accommodation and help them to communicate with landlords. We will also help them find the best transport options to Ljubljana. We will provide them with the possibility of healthy meals or food allowances and pocket money, as set out in the rules of the European Solidarity Corps. We will offer support in editing official documents and various applications, including arranging Urbana for the use of LPP and bicycle sharing. In addition, we will show them Ljubljana and all important locations and routes (shops, health center, post office, etc.).
🎒 Leisure activities
Volunteers will gain expertise in youth work, especially specific methodologies of youth work as well as project management and practical skills of media work. They will participate in different activities for youth and will be given a co-organizing role in them. They will have an opportunity to practice their English and to learn the Slovene language, but all work will be carried out in the English language. They will be included in the area of managing a non-governmental organization and coordinating different projects so they will have an opportunity to learn a lot of management skills.
