📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
YOUROPÍA is a politically independent, non profitable, cultural association that was born from the concern and the spirit of acting for a better society. We aim to bring Europe closer to citizens -especially to young people - and to promote values such as equality and tolerance through mutual understanding and dialogue in different cultural contexts. Within the frame of Non Formal Education, Youropía works in projects both at regional and international level in order to promote active citizenship and social commitment. We foster youth active participation and empowerment of young people through different activities: work camps in rural areas, workshops with high school students, training courses and sessions on different topics: from creativity to intercultural learning, gender issues and international cooperation. Youropía was founded in 2009 and is currently based in Oviedo (C/Historiador Juan Uría, 15.33011, Oviedo), at the co-working and creative space "Fábrica de Ideas”. Over the last few years, apart from other programmes and initiatives, the organization has coordinated several international youth projects within Erasmus+ (and the former European programme, Youth in Action) and collaborated with Spanish National Agency and Asturian Youth Institute in carrying out Training and Cooperation Activities aimed at promoting best practices in Youth Projects management.
💼 What the programme involves
Youth and the Museum is the result of the collaboration between YOUROPÍA and the Museum of Fine Arts of Asturias, with the aim of bringing art and culture to spaces and groups that normally do not have access to it (especially young people).
To this end, we will carry out different activities, including: design, creation and dissemination of a board game based on the museum's works; talks in educational centres on the theme of “The artist's journey, our journey”; a festival in the museum with activities in and around the museum… as well as international cooking workshops and a possible film screening (to be confirmed).
Upon arrival of the participants, we will dedicate some time for group bonding and getting to know the resources we will be working with, especially the Museum of Fine Arts.
On the last days of the stay, a general evaluation of the process will be carried out to gather the group's opinions on the experience.

🏠 Accommodation on site
Accommodation for this activity will be in apartments located in Oviedo city centre and 20 minutes from the organisation office. Each apartment is for 5 people and has double bedrooms, living room, equipped kitchen and bathroom.
In general local transportation is not necessary. The organisation will cover transportation costs for activities in which travel is needed.
Each participant will receive food allowance and pocket money at the beginning of their stay.
🎒 Leisure activities
Participants will receive training on the Museum of Fine Arts and its works, mobility as an educational process, the use of digital tools such as Canva to create educational resources, design and adaptation of pedagogical sessions.
During “Youth & the Museum” our participants will acquire different competences both at a personal and professional level: teamwork; conflict management and transformation; communication in English/other language; proactivity and creativity; resource analysis and adaptability; awareness towards artistic and cultural expressions.
⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profile: It is not necessary to have previous knowledge or experience in culture or art; however it is very important that candidates are interested in what they are going to do. There are two main points: “art & culture” and “working with people”. We would like to count on motivated, flexible and proactive volunteers, with the ability to communicate and connect with other people, prepared to work in a team, sensitive to inclusion and interested in working with young people with fewer opportunities.
If you are willing to step out of your comfort zone and accept some uncertainty (working with groups many unexpected things can happen), this might be the project for you!

ℹ️ Additional information
The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.

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).
