📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Our town, Tryavna, is a cradle of history, traditions and culture. Being followed by the destiny of many small places in Bulgaria, however, its population is decreasing in the last years and less and less opportunities are offered to kids, young people and adults to develop and use creatively their free time. That’s why we would like to offer space for people to socialize and have fun and also to develop a small informational platform. What we are planning: - Develop and maintain the info platform. - Take interviews. - Write articles and make short movies. - Make photo parallels and photo archives, related to old buildings in the area. - Organise contests. - Organise entertaining or educational activities for any age (game and cinema nights, creative workshops, quizzes, debates, etc.) - Organise activities at kindergartens, schools, social centres and during festivals. - Participate in the organisation of a few festivals.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Financial Support - Volunteers will receive 17.00 bgn daily for food and personal expenses. Transport - Money for transport will be reimbursed to the participants up to the maximum allowed for the respective country according to the distance band.

Accommodation -You will live in a flat, which is about 20min on foot from the city centre. It has two bedrooms and a separate kitchen.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for someone energetic, communicative and adaptive, who is ready to become a part of a team and contribute with ideas, creativity and self-initiative. Since we will have lots of interaction with local people, it would be easier if you have some knowledge of some Slavic language, but this is not mandatory and a Bulgarian language course will be organised for you. Video making and photography skill are appreciated. You will need to organise activities for local youngster in order to bring them together, spend time in a meaningful way.

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).
