About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Barn och Utbildningsförvaltningen (Youth and education administration) in Svenljunga Kommun is working for a more fair and just municipality for all our young citizens. Our organisation is called BUS, standing for Barn och unga i Svenljunga (Children and youth in Svenljunga) and our administration is a cooperation of public bodies working with youth questions such as: social workers, youth workers, family counselling, and many more. We operate in the entire municipality and our work is a more "hands on" work. We meet the young people where they are and have a variety of tools that enable us to support them, offer acitivities during school hours and even outside of them. Our main target group is youngster between 10-21 years. We work actively to prevent any sort of discrimination based on race, religion, gender, and any sort of background that is deviating from the norm.

💼 What the programme involves

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in one of those idyllical villages in Sweden? Svenljunga kommun is a municapility surrounded by a breathtaking nature, with over 300 lakes, and still being close to cities like Borås and Gothenburg. We now are looking for two volunteers to join us over a period of 12 months: Our volunteers will be a part of the BUS (Children and Youth in Svenljunga) and work within our public youth center. You will even join us when we develop and create new and meaningful cooperiations with local actors to further ensure and develop a feeling of wellbeing among our teenagers. You will even be working with us when we actively work against segregation in our town as well as help us to contribute positively to socially vulnerable areas of our town to make life better for our target group.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will share an apparment with 3 rooms and a kitchen in the center of the town. Foodmoney will be provided and so will be transport to and from the project as well. During the stay we will be providing a buscard for public transportation.

🎒 Leisure activities

There will be an on-arrival training and a mid-term training in cooperation with the national youth agency (MUCF). In accordance with the project guidelines there will be opportunities given for the participants to study Swedish during their stay.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for two volunteers that share our idea of that every youngsters deserves and has the right to live it's life to the fullest with all the opportunities given. If you are burning for questions like participation, inclusion and a good amount of having fun at working with young people, you are the one we are looking for. We want you to be a curious, engaged and a social person. This is your chance to explore the magic of northern Europe.

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).
